Forge Cottage

A small cottage garden reclaimed from the scrapyard of a Victorian forge and overlooked by a medieval church in the heart of a country village. A leafy, rose-filled passageway leads to a sun-dappled sanctuary looking out over wild meadow, spinney and paddock. Colourful curved herbaceous borders of mixed shrubs and perennials winding around a gnarled Bramley apple tree.
