About Squires Barn

The current owners have spent the past few years turning a paddock into a garden with many differing aspects. On slightly sloping ground there are views around the garden and across the surrounding countryside. Mixed beds have been created with shrubs and herbaceous planting, whilst trees and spring bulbs have been planted throughout to encourage the visitor to wander at leisure, providing interest across the seasons.

Seating throughout the garden encourages the visitor to view the garden from different angles. An existing orchard and raised vegetable beds and fruit cage provide crops throughout the year. A large ornamental pond with waterfall features water lilies and fish with mixed planting edges. A wildflower mound has been created in one corner of the garden. An existing horse pond features some native planting and mature ash trees but does dry out in recent years. During 2022 a swimming pool was installed with grassed surround and potted shrubs.

Plant stall, art exhibition and a brass band will play at the opening.
