About Jack Green Cottage

Bought in 2010 and extensively landscaped since, Jack Green Cottage has a large, 2.7 acres (one hectare) garden with different points of interest. Our philosophy is sustainable and organic gardening. The planting tries to be as much ‘bee and bird-friendly’ as possible.
There are many areas of interest: wild pond and rill encouraging frogs and dragonflies surrounded by bog planting and including a big colony of 12 foot tall gunneras, the long border of herbaceous perennials, a small Japanese-style garden with small ponds and waterfall, a woodland area and fernery.
We have an orchard and a productive vegetable plot and have won awards at Southport flower show with our flowers and vegetables.
The children’s corner includes a willow den, a metal chain Burma bridge, swings .
Being in a rural area and surrounded by fields and forest, we have wild fallow deer, pheasants, hares and bats visiting our garden.
