- News:We Have a Whole New Garden! Since we moved into the house, our lounge window has looked out onto a wide area of tarmacked drive. It was ugly, split the garden in two and was rarely used. We spent years trying to figure out how to improve it without spending a fortune. Then, in April 2017 we heard an inspiring talk by Mary Reynolds at the Clare Garden Show Fringe. Eureka! We began to plan a new garden which would link the wildflower meadow with the herbaceous border. As our site is very exposed, we decided to create a woodland edge garden of curving paths and mounded beds. We also wanted stone features and, eventually, a summerhouse and firepit. The design evolved from a complex drawing in chalk on the tarmac to sketches on paper. There were a few heated discussions!
