Wellfield Barn

Our garden is a haven for wildlife. 27yrs ago, a once bustling concrete farmyard grew into a tranquil ½ acre garden. Planned, created and still evolving today to provide enjoyment of colour and form for year-round enjoyment. Structured design integrates house, lawn and garden with the landscape. Wonderful views, ha-ha, specimen trees, mixed borders, hydrangea bed, hardy geraniums and roses.

About Wellfield Barn

A labour of love began when we moved to this farmyard 27yrs ago. Well planned garden, designed and created by the owners around their home to provide enjoyment of colour and form throughout the year, many specimen trees for each season. Now tranquility, wonderful views, sheep as neighbours, what perfect peace!

.

Formal sunken garden, grass walks with interesting young and semi-mature trees for each season. Now tranquillity, sheep as neighbours, perfect peace. Our collection of hardy geraniums was featured on BBC Gardeners' World with Carol Klein.
