Jan Berry, My Garden (LE65)

Styles: Allotment or vegetable plot, English cottage, Organic, Water, Wildflower, Wildlife

Brian & I have developed our garden over the last 14 years, it was quite bare when we took it over & didn't feel very big. Now we have divided it into several areas & it appears so much bigger & so much more interesting! The areas are Cottage complete with picket fence & gate entrance, Alpine, Grasses/shrubs, Wildlife-with pond, woodland edge & arbour seat, Secret garden(under development), Fruit & Vegetable, Patio with pots. For the first time we had two Open Days last month, quite a tiring, but enjoyable experience with positive feedback. There is still much we want to do and changes that need making esp if we want to repeat the Open Day experience! We had a 2nd year of opening in 2009 and are now planning for 2010! Last year was very successful having 3 extra gardens opening and more than 70 visitors!
