We are restoring a two acre garden in Somerset, including a walled garden of 0.75 acres and a walled orchard of 0.35 acres. Large native trees around the perimeter, with mixed laurels for screening.We spent the first year taming the wilderness as the house was empty for three years and neglected before that. We are just completing the hard landscaping, building in the original stone and restoring the drive. We have completed some soft landscaping but now have a lot of planting to do!
