A garden in two parts. Complementing a small, brick 1940’s semi, the narrow front garden has lawn edged with sinuous herbaceous borders very fully stocked with colourful, wildlife-friendly mixed plantings including Digitalis, Eryngium, and Rudbeckia.  The fenced boundary has scramblimg Clematis, whilst the house has Boston ivy and climbing Hydrangea coverage.

The larger, rear family garden has sheds, vegetable beds, herbaceous and shrub borders and a deep pond with goldfish.  A recently added patio and garden room offer a much needed teen den/gin palace/gym for a maturing family. 

A greenhouse holds an extensive collection of carnivorous and sub-tropical plants. Stephen has been growing carnivorous plants for about 45 years now and has a comprehensive collection, mainly focussed on Sarracenia pitcher plants which he hybridises, having produced and published several cultivars.  All plants are grown peat-free.
