Since moving to Owl Barn thirteen years ago the borders and flower beds have been extended and planted with herbaceous and hardy cottage garden plants. The kitchen garden has a range of raised beds which provide us with vegetables, fruit and cut flowers throughout the seasons. We try to encourage bees with bee friendly planting.
