Ermecot House

3½ acres of gardens and meadows located between the Erme and the Ludbrook. It is managed to encourage wildlife and pollinators. It includes a walled garden planted with roses and herbaceous borders, a remodelled vegetable and herb garden, a mature orchard, and river and meadow walks with views over the Ludbrook, which runs through it.

About Ermecot House

Art exhibition by local artists and a visiting artist. Artwork and paintings will focus on local landscapes and places. Cards and other small items will also be for sale and will be designed or made locally. We hope there will be some images of the garden.

Plants sales will be, as far as possible, plants from seeds and seedlings collected from the garden. They should include lavenders, hollyhocks, Deptford pinks and more. Plants will be grown at a small holding a couple of 100 metres away from the garden. They may be supplemented by other locally grown plants.

Particular features of the garden in June are climbing roses, lavenders, thymes and geraniums.

We have particularly splendid compost heaps which were very popular last year!

We continue to work on the garden and this year we have done some more landscaping and will be doing some replanting.
