Our garden and peaceful sanctuary. Creative division of a large garden into garden rooms.
Over the last 12 years we have evolved our enclosed garden from what was previously extensively laid to lawn with traditional borders, to a varied characterful garden structured by hedges, paths and herbaceous borders. Topiary, creative planting and water features give emphasis and contrast with the lavender rill, pyramid and globe gardens. The lawn has gradually disappeared!
In 2023, we opened our garden along with 3 others nearby in the village for the National Garden Scheme (NGS). It was a great success, please see link to a presentation of the day : Open Garden 2023 Presentation
These are the NGS details and we are open by appointment this year : 16 Ace Lane Open Garden
We had some lovely comments after our by appointment openings in 2025:
‘Your garden universally delighted all who attended. It’s an absolute gem and you are both excellent hosts.’
‘What a beautiful garden with so many clever ideas.’
‘It was an experience thoroughly enjoyed by all those who came. The incredible planting, structure with the odd quirky item made us all smile. We came home with great ideas. I think our lawn is scared!’
