A Private Visit
especially for Dorset Gardens Trust has been arranged with the owners of this is wonderfully eclectic and romantic
garden set in the most beautiful English countryside around a Georgian house
built in 1815, nestling in a valley 2 miles south of Bath.
It is a mix of
herbaceous borders, topiaries, ponds and rills, a walled garden with fruit
trees, greenhouses, flower and vegetable beds.
There are
wildflower meadows surrounding the garden and the disused Somerset Coal Canal
runs through the property.
The house and garden have
been lovingly restored and nurtured over the last 14 years and with
regenerative gardening principles at its core, it is teaming and humming with
wildlife; a true slice of paradise!
We are a conservation charity working to protect the county's many historic parks and gardens for future generations.
We work with garden owners and local and national bodies to highlight, protect and encourage the conservation and restoration of designed landscapes, ranging from stately homes to public parks, cottage gardens to cemeteries. Principally funded by over 500 members, we run visits, lectures and events where members can share their interest and knowledge in a sociable atmosphere.
Through its research and recording programme, the Trust undertakes and supports research on sites of historic interest, including sites that the Trust has rediscovered, as well as on other related topics. We share knowledge through our Journal and also seek to inspire the gardeners of the future through imaginative projects with schools.
