6 yrs ago the garden was just lawn and a pond which had been filled in. The pond now is a wildlife pond with water lilies, and the garden has three sections divided by a pergola and two arches with climbing roses and honeysuckle. Trees, shrubs and as many perennials as can fit in the flower beds have been planted, and roses abound in the rose bed. A garden very easy to walk around with plenty of seating areas to sit and reflect.

The rose bed has been a success with many types and colours also climbers that adorn the arches and pergolas, plenty of seating areas to sit and reflect. Wild garden area with bug hotel and hedgehog house. Greenhouse where we grow bedding to fill the spaces in summer.
We don’t like to see bare earth even if it is a weed.
