Gardenvisit Editorial

A 3 acre water and woodland garden, situated in a former tidal creek, developed since 1988. There is a hornbeam avenue, pond and herbaceous borders.

Head Gardener's Comment

This 3 acre garden offers interest from April to October, with early bulbs, herbaceous borders, a trellis covered with roses and clematis, shrubs and trees. There is a large natural pond, waterways through the marsh, a low-lying jungle and bog garden.

History

The garden lies in a former tidal creek, but in the 1960s a great deal of in-filling was done in a bid to stop annual flooding. Originally a small-holding, planting has been continuous since 1988.

    What a wonderful garden ! Amazing borders filled with such a variety of plants for all year interest. Many paths lead you to different areas within the garden and you discover something new around each corner. We found a fabulous plant in the plant sales area and got to enjoy a cup of tea in a bone china cup with home made cake. We will definitely visit again.
