The Old School House

Cottage garden created in the grounds of a Victorian school by a passionate and enthusiastic gardener over 35 yrs. Not so much by design, but led by a love of plants and trying anything: herbaceous, annuals, bulbs, shrubs, trees, fruit cage, espalier apples, cut flower patch and some veg. Wildflower area, wildlife ponds, bird feeding stations, jungle corner, quirky containers. Plenty of seating.
