This has been a garden restoration over the past 4 years, working around the existing mature shrubs and trees. An area has been set aside for wildflower meadow. We are currently experimenting with pollarded willow to develop a feature hedge. The adjoining field grazed by Dartmoor Ponies (that can bite!).
