About this garden

The story

This includes dry stone walling, typical of the area, a limestone path representing the Limestone Way,  planted with predominantly UK natives around a dew pond and a representation of a covered, disused lead mine shaft, featuring ‘T’Owd Man of Bonsall’. Planting in keeping with the area, including a wildflower meadow and ornamentals thriving on limestone sites.
