A ‘quintessential English Garden’ – Gardeners World. Our quirky 1½ acre garden has surprises round every corner and many interesting sculptures. A natural swimming pool is bordered by romantic flower beds, herb garden and Victorian folly. A bog garden borders woods and leads to silver birch copse, beach garden and ‘Roman’ temple.
his peaceful garden has been our pleasure and delight for 20 years. During this time we have developed many different areas as inspiration and energy allowed.A natural spring fed bog garden borders woodland, and a silver birch copse shades a ‘Classic’ temple.Our natural swimming pool, which featured in Grand Designs magazine and on Gardeners’ World, is sheltered by an old apple orchard in which we have built a treehouse. Surrounding the pool are romantic flower beds, a herb garden and a Gothic changing room. An old bell tower set in a formal bed,separates this area from the vegetable patch.The lower garden is laid to curved informal flower beds and is bordered by a brick terrace, and an octagonal water feature with a copper peace lily fountain. The garden has many smaller areas including a fernery, cliff, sink garden, green roof and a beach area.Additional interests are a small collection of classic cars and motorbikes.We spend many happy hours in our garden and look forward to sharing it with others.
