Arboretum

The Sensory Garden

We are currently prepairing our Sensory planting beds for the New Year.  We will be planting a wide variety of sensory plants, ie taste, smell, in the coming season .  Any person who wishes to contribute is welcome with open arms !!  Advice, encouragement, tools, plants etc,   please, please, please.

We are also currently attending to our Willow Bower (rear of Timber Shed).  Hopefully this will grow into a completely contained Bower in the next few years.

We have a roped and stepped walkway through the Arboretum for you to enjoy.  We have a Sanctuary Seat for you to sit , relax and unwind at the bottom of our grove.  We will be planting a Woodbine Arch to cover this area with fragrant perfume to enable you relax even more , in peaceful surroundings.    All the trees are named to help you get more pleasure out of your experience.
