About Woodlands

Amateur Gardening magazine: ‘a garden full of colour, foliage and exuberant planting to mirror the sun-kissed islands of the Caribbean. Drinking in the atmosphere is almost obligatory……….’ as it’s here that there is the Caribbean inspired bar called ‘the Lazy Frog.

The garden is a clever blend of tropical and English cottage garden.

An eclectic mix of planting with a tropical theme around a Caribbean inspired bar, curving borders, pond and sculptures peeping out of the foliage. Lots of mid to late summer colour
