The Old Police House

The garden was started from a field 8 yrs ago. The borders are mixed shrub and herbaceous plants. There are climbers down the length of the borders. The garden has been planned to maximise the amazing view across the valley to Arley village on the opposite side.

About The Old Police House

The owners moved to this house in July 2015. The garden was a field without a single plant. It was planted up the following summer. The garden is all flower beds with a mixture of shrubs, herbaceous plants and climbers. There are also many tubs and baskets with bedding plants. The garden has been planned to maximise the view across the valley to the village on the opposite side. The site is quite windy so plants need to be able to survive. The front garden was block paved in Spring 2019 and a mixed bed created there.
