Larapinta

Our garden is constantly evolving, but the main event is definitely spring when the wisteria bursts into life spanning approx 50 ft dripping with purple flowers and filling the garden with a wonderful scent. It is complemented by colourful borders, a Koi pond, fruit area, small woodland walk and a new Japanese area. We enjoy wonderful views to Bodmin and Widemouth from the top field.

About Larapinta

A garden that inherited the magnificent Wisteria but has been lovingly extended and improved in the short time we have been here – and this is still ongoing. The most recent project has been the Japanese area. There are plenty of seating areas to sit and take in the tranquility of this garden and the viewing point from the top field looking over to Bodmin & Widemouth bay is simply stunning. Why not enjoy a picnic here or try some of our home made cakes with a nice cuppa.
None of this would have been possible without Ian’s help with the structural projects especially, as most of my ideas are in my head and not on paper.
