 ‘A garden I do not willingly leave’ JW from Wales

 ‘looks so natural but it has been lovingly designed & cared for.’ RG

‘A very cosy feel to the garden; lovely cakes; v. friendly too’

 ‘delightful: imaginative, beautiful, relaxing … art that conceals art’Coastal echoes in suburbia. Four contrasting atmospheres and environments. Tiny courtyard opens onto terrace of mainly containerized Mediterranean planting including oleander, jasmine, grapevine and herbs. Imaginatively planted lawn area leads through pergola to a little bit of Cornwall in London including a boat, pebble beaches and pond. Dry stone wall behind the patio with unexpected delights.

Over the four years of open days/evenings the garden has been shared with more than 377 visitors and we have donated some £2,637 to the National Gardens Scheme. With your help we are hoping this will be our biggest and most successful even ever.
