After 28 years of opening for The National Gardens Scheme,
we have now shut the garden.
You may still tour the garden virtually by following the links
below.
Our garden near the Bristol Channel enjoys a fairly mild climate
although it is quite windy. The soil is a free draining loam
with a neutral pH. which requires the addition of plenty of humus
each year to keep it in good heart. The third-acre plot which
had been part of a larger garden, first had to be reclaimed from the
self sown saplings of Sycamore and Ash and the tangle that ivy and
old man's beard had produced. Over the years we planted
evergreen hedges for shelter, trees and shrubs for wildlife and
ourselves to enjoy, dug beds and borders and filled them with our
favourite plants.
We grow many plants from seed and cuttings to provide the garden
with colour and scent. These include lots of tender
perennials, several unusual climbers as well as annuals to fill the
gaps, old fashioned sweet peas for cutting and display and many
different salvia species.
