Riversvale Lodge

The garden is small but full of plants collected over nearly 30 yrs. The aim is for interest throughout the seasons, based on foliage, texture and unusual plants which will flourish at over 1000ft. A wide range of insects has resulted. The site provides a clay loam soil and a range of aspects so that many plant groups thrive.
