About Fallowfield & Ladybarn Gardens
Each garden on this short trail has something different to offer. They comprise a quintessentially, English cottage garden, a garden owned by professional designers who have created, amongst everything else, a highly imaginative outside entertaining space for their glorious old villa, a small, pretty garden which makes perfect use of its limited space, 2 beautifully mature Victorian gardens with thoughtful planting, mixed borders and lovely seating areas, a perfectly designed, modern garden with a stunning array of borders around circular lawns and, finally, a corner garden divided into ‘rooms’. Fallowfield and Ladybarn suburbs grew rapidly from the mid C19, the oldest garden on our trail belongs to a listed Georgian cottage and evokes an era when the area was nothing but farmland, the newest belongs to a smart, modern town house built for a bustling suburb. Along a large part of the trail you will pass some beautiful tree bases, planted and tended by local residents.
