The Garden





The naturalistic garden, begun in 1980 and spanning approximately a quarter acre, has a beautiful setting overlooking moors and woodland, and features rock and scree gardens, a 100ft planted wall, herbaceous beds, woodland planting, ponds, an indoor rockery, many stone troughs and other innovative planting ideas.

Most of the plants growing in the garden are available for sale in the nursery.

There is plenty to see in the garden between the months of March to September, with some of the highlights including:

Accessibility
The site is of a sloping nature, with stone paths and steps around the garden, so unfortunately it is not easy to access in a wheelchair. However, we will make every effort to make the site as accessible as possible to visitors with disabilities, and there is some seating available around the garden.
