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 shrubs, ferns 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. 72 Bracondale: a tranquil mature city garden hidden behind a Georgian townhouse. A grand copper beech tree with a wildflower meadow and yew hedge frames the space. A sunken area with box, yew, flint, and old walls reflects its history. Borders feature roses, salvia, irises, and geraniums, while patios with bay-filled pots complete the garden.
