I am now working on parts of the water powered clock and singing bird mechanism. The musical part is being made by a friend who restored the Renaissance singing birds at the Villa d'Este - it should be fun!
We have increased the range of plants for sale and greatly improved the plant sales area. Moisture loving plants are a speciality.
The Gardens are open everyday until the end of September.
I've laid out the 3 ½ acre garden around the tangle of streams and ponds behind the old corn mill with wonderful views to the surrounding meadows and hills. It is bursting with the colours and textures of exuberant planting and has a surprise around every
corner. There is now a huge collection of unusual plants to interest the serious plants person while the fantastic follies will delight everyone – and may play a few gentle tricks on you.
The garden and follies have both won a lot of attention in the press, with feature articles in Country Life, The Times and Telegraph, Follies of Europe and in all the gardening 'glossies'.
There is a café which is open all day serving
home-cooked meals and teas. It has plenty of space inside or you can sit by the stream and admire the view.
You will find us in the beautiful Welsh Marches close to the historic half timbered village of Pembridge. Come and visit us; you are sure to receive a warm welcome.
