Gable End

Gable End is a medium-sized garden consisting of four distinct areas. A small front garden leads into a courtyard with flowers and vegetables surrounding the house. A path leads on through a planted shady space dominated by a mulberry tree. The path continues through a gate into what feels like a secret garden, a peaceful place for people and wildlife, which begs to be explored.

About Gable End

Gable End is a medium-sized garden consisting of four distinct areas. A small front garden leads into a courtyard with flowers and vegetables surrounding the house. A path leads on through a planted shady space where a black mulberry tree thrives. The path continues through a gate into what feels like a secret garden, a peaceful place for people and wildlife, which begs to be explored. The garden is still in the process of being developed, working towards being a more sustainable place.
