About Staddlestones

A beautiful setting for a plant lover`s garden which is divided in two by a chalk stream. On one side you have colour themed borders with plants that love sun and free draining soil. On the other side the soil is much heavier, it can get flooded and is in shade so there is a constant battle with the elements The positive side of this is that there are a wide variety of shade loving plants including meconopsis poppies along with an unusual 2 ft tall gunnera This is a peaceful garden with borrowed views, plenty of wildlife and places to sit and enjoy it all. You will not be disappointed!
