The workshops are very interactive and I came home buzzing with lots of very useful information. Vanessa is a wonderful host and I would highly recommend it for anyone who wants to get the most out of their vegetable garden. “ Vicky Innocent "I expected formality but it was much nicer, relaxed and friendly with the dog as personal guide." "Family field with swings and chicken runs – brilliant touch." "The garden has a wonderful natural feel, visually pleasing and environmentally excellent." "Loved the many seats to sit and enjoy."  "Impressed with colour, texture and plants which are exciting in late summer." “I did not expect this garden to be so beautiful and inspirational.  I loved the surprises round each corner.” “I really enjoyed the nursery as you can buy the plants you see in the garden.” “There are such a wonderful variety of plants and the added attraction of poultry and bees.” “All of the wildflowers in the meadow reminded me of childhood.” “I didn't really know what to expect when I visited the garden but I thought it would be more commercial.  Instead it was charming and less formal. “We loved the front garden, the avenue, wildlife pond and bird song!  There is so much interest everywhere, it was well worth the long drive.” “A perfect cottage garden designed beautifully to incorporate such a wide selection of plants.” “I had been told the garden was lovely but it exceeded all expectations.  My non- gardening husband called it paradise.” Click here for one visitor’s report on his visit with some excellent pictures!
