Enjoy live music in this ⅔ acre parkland garden designed for and by wildlife. Mixed native hedging provides shelter, aided by ornamental trees and shrubs. A courtyard area with herbs and mini potager opens onto lawn and patches of wildflowers. Nature gradually takes over as you wander past the new pond and through the heritage variety orchard to a shady clump of mature oaks and maple.
