This is not a neat or manicured or mature garden. We are encouraging wildlife by leaving wild areas, building log and brash piles, and leaving an area of grass unmown until September. We try to reuse, recycle and upcycle materials where possible. The garden has developed organically, and on a tight budget. Most of the plants are propagated by us or friends, or from the rescue areas in garden centres or nurseries.
