Penny Leaze

The garden is on a south-east facing slope in a Cotswold valley where we have attempted to balance wildness, formal gardening, tiny orchard, and fern collection. With seasonal planting for pollinators and wildlife in mind we are also developing a bog garden and wild flower areas.

About Penny Leaze

A half-acre garden with a 1970s house originally laid, largely to lawn has been redeveloped with wildlife in mind. Sited within an AONB towards the top of a hidden Cotswold valley. The garden now has greater biodiversity with succession planting and seasonal interest through native hedging, bulbs, wild flowers, shrubs, herbaceous borders, fernery and a productive vegetable patch with greenhouse. Pathways lead to tranquil seating areas. The garden is nestled into the countryside on a south-east facing slope where we have attempted to balance wildness and traditional gardening.
