Welcome back to my blog!


  • METALLURGI is born. Having worked on the estate for 29 years Dominic is being made redundant as the farm is being contracted out. As well as being an organic farm advisor he is setting up a business making woven metal items for the garden, one of which being this tree seat which surrounds our Apple tree. It is ideal for small trees and makes a pretty and longlasting focal point from which to view your garden. See his website for costings www.metallurgi.co.uk 
  • WE ARE IN THE AUGUST EDITION OF THE ENGLISH GARDEN MAGAZINE. Rachel Warne's photos look superb and we are grateful to the English Garden for covering us again following Marcus Harpur's beautiful images in May 2007. The article is resulting in lots more visitors for the garden and interest in our Gardening courses (see website)
  • CALLING ALL GARDENERS KEEN TO LEARN PRACTICAL SKILLS. We are running an Autumn Practical Gardening course where we will visit each students gardens armed with gardening tools and under my instruction will show the group how to prune, propagate or split various plants. Bulb plant etc. See website for details. 
  • GARDEN OPEN EVERY FRIDAY TIL SEPT 30th 10-5. We would love to welcome you to the garden - it is looking pretty lovely with all the Agastache flowering in the 20metre long Celtic racetrack - the bees are loving. See above photo.
