The two small, well established gardens at Mill Lodge are designed to be wildlife-friendly, with a mixed native hedgerow, a small wildlife pond (new late 2023) and semi-wild areas. There are informal, cottage garden-style borders packed with flowers, herbs and foliage plants, many pots and containers, and several fruit trees. The greenhouse and vegetable patch are always full and very productive.
