Gislingham Gardens

Two varied gardens in a picturesque village with a number of Suffolk timbered houses. Ivy Chimneys is planted for year-round interest with ornamental trees, some topiary, exotic borders and fishpond set in an area of Japanese style. Wisteria draped pergola supports a productive vine. Also a separate ornamental vegetable garden. Small orchard on front lawn. New: 12 Chapel Farm Close is a tiny garden, exquisitely planted and an absolute riot of colour despite the garden’s size, the owner has planted a Catalpa, a Cornus Florida Rubra and many unusual plants. It is a fine example of what can be achieved in a small space.
