Evelyn's Garden

Now 77, I live on my memories and I split most of my time between the garden and the herd. As ‘caretaker’ it is my pleasure to maintain the spectacular gardens developed by my wife; which is an extravaganza of hundreds of plants in three-quarters of an acre, including 70 roses, 35 hydrangeas, dozens of penstemons and hundreds of geraniums, petunias and fuchsias. Hence the joy of opening the gardens to the public, which of course is another means of supporting my favoured charities.


The successful open garden event 2022 raised £1400 

to be split between the two charities  

Thank you to all that visited the garden and enjoyed an afternoon tea with us677608359346847-1902-jpg
