Glebe Steading

Welcome to a garden designed around a small pool, with full brightly coloured borders and plants reminiscent of the owners childhood in Kenya, mingled with grasses for a looser feel. Flowering perennials attract pollinators and are left standing tall. A hillside of 35 trees with coppice/orchard and small kitchen garden. A small stream runs down the slope with a botanical medicinal border.

About Glebe Steading

The garden is planned around small natural pool, with a swim zone 3m wide and 10m long. A beach at the shallow end is perfect for small children to access the pool and for stepping slowly into the water in the depths of winter.

One of our favourite features is the tiny stream – designed to look like a Scottish burn, it sparkles down the hillside, through a scree garden of Scottish cobbles planted with aromatics and creeping thyme and disappears under the deck walkway

Finally at the top of the garden there is a small vegetable garden with green house, raised beds, cold frame, fruit cage and a chicken pen with gorgeous, distant views across A612.

Small natural pool with a summerhouse.
