Bracondale Gardens

A warm welcome awaits you at these three attractive compact town gardens a short walk apart and each with a different character. 1 Woodside Cottages: A very pretty, small cottage garden packed with colourful plants both ornamental and edible and even the resident chickens are decorative. Fruit trees and vegetables grow side by side with perennial and annual flowers and a small pond supports a multitude of frogs each spring. 14 Conesford Drive: Lush planting of fruit, vegetables and flowers greet you at the side of this 1960s modernist house leading to a densely planted cottage garden of carefully selected perennials and climbers. Southgate House: The former Harbour Master's house. The garden is about an acre, half of which is formed on a steep escarpment. Garden rooms with ornamental beds and interesting plants. Woodland hillside walks.

About Bracondale Gardens

1 Woodside Cottages is a small white painted Victorian cottage and its garden is packed with colourful cottage garden plants which grow side by side with fruit and vegetables. A pond fits neatly into the design and supports many frogs each spring.

14 Conesford Drive Cottage garden style borders with plants specifically chosen for dry shade (under silver birch trees) and dry sun on the steeply sloping banks. Terraced vegetable borders constructed from sleepers. Drifts of plants to create interest and contrast.

Southgate House The former Harbour Master’s house, the garden extends to about an acre, half of which is formed on a steep escarpment. Little of the original garden layout existed by 2018. However, we uncovered some historic maps and plans and have recreated the garden and Harbour Master’s walks down the hillside. The garden now comprises a combination of garden rooms and styles and woodland hillside walks.
