A very long narrow garden planted with a strong cottage garden influence. Divided into numerous rooms, a meandering path llinks each section creating thriving areas packed with interesting plants and unusual artefacts. The garden is informally planted with mixed herbaceous and shrub borders, beautiful fern collections, and raised beds. The winding path takes you past several water features and secluded seating areas. Once described as a Russian Doll, there is definitely a surprise round every corner.Rosemary Farr's garden plan

About me
My love of gardening started when I was about 7 summers old. Many, many summers later, I am as keen as ever. After taking early retirement, I was accepted into the National Garden Scheme and have been opening my garden for the past 7 or so years. I love all plants (particularly ferns and unusual foliage plants). A plantaholic through and through thats me.
