The garden is just 8 minutes walk from Templecombe Station on the London to Exeter line.

Walled garden with an orchard, potager, clover lawn, extensive ornamental borders, salvias and greenhouse. Managed organically with biodiversity at its core, the owner trials climate-resilient ideas: rainwater is channelled through ponds and rills, a dipping pond supplies water to the potager, plus aggregate beds, unusual vegetables, half hardy ornamentals and a separate perennial vegetable garden.
