About Repton NGS Village Gardens
Askew Cottage, Milton Road – The owner, a professional garden designer, has disguised the rectangular site by using curved paths to link together the different areas. Beech, box and yew hedges provide structure and the planting within is constantly evolving. Features include a circle of meadow grass set within a cloud box hedge, trained apple trees and a small wildlife pool. Much new planting for 2023 to combat drought conditions.
