The 1½ acre garden is designed to be wildlife friendly with wild areas meeting formal planting. There is an orchard and a vegetable plot to explore. Walk through areas of woodland and see laid hedges and a pond supporting amphibians and dragonflies. There is also an abstract garden sculpture by local artist Paul Richardson. We are making changes designed to increase our resilience to drought.

The garden was originally half of a long established garden from which some mature trees, notably deodar cedar and a redwood remain. We manage the garden as a haven for all wildlife (except rabbits and deer). The last few years have seen a move towards more Mediterranean style planting in response to the changing climate.
