Old House Farm

We moved into the house in May 2019 and have been gradually changing the garden since then. We focus on a cottage garden scheme with a rose bed, hot garden, colour themed borders and, my favourite, the shade garden.

About Old House Farm

The ‘nettle bed’ was previously full of, yes, you guessed it – nettles! These have all been cleared and a shade garden planted.

The vegetable patch was overrun with thistles and other weeds.

The front beds have been cleared of weeds and the creation of a hot bed, rose bed and herbaceous border.

We have also had extensive tree surgeon work to open up the garden, creating a more light and airy feel.

The concrete paths around the house and down the middle of the lawn have been removed and turf laid.
