About this open garden:
Judy Gordon has a charming, medium-sized cottage garden offering year-round interest. Mature trees create a sense of privacy, while the space has been thoughtfully designed and cared for by its owners, whose passion is clear throughout.
Informal beds are filled with a mix of shrubs, perennials, traditional cottage plants, and spring bulbs, creating a relaxed and colourful display. Hidden corners invite exploration, alongside a small fish pond and additional water features.
A delightful log cabin sits slightly elevated, perfectly positioned to take in views across the garden.
