The garden in The Old Rectory is still evolving - even after 180 years !! There are two main areas under development……….
Our project in 2002 was to change the design of the walled garden. Formal paths have been laid; the lawn removed and a new parterre garden has taken its place. This is continuing to be developed……… as another 'new' project took over
In 2003 our project was the old vegetable garden (approx 1/3 acre). It was somewhat neglected and in need of a complete make-over. A new orchard of more than 20 fruit trees was planted in January and April / May saw the planting of the new vineyard. Over 100 vines were planted……..and we are expecting our first crop in 2006 - hopefully...
