Paddock Cottage
Helen and Colin Crews have a small cottage garden with views across the countryside. The garden is opening for the arboretum at two different points of the year. There are attractive mixed borders and a wide range of plants both in sunny and shaded areas. In particular in early summer there are hellebores, meconopsis and iris. There are also raised vegtable plots, two small glasshouses and a fishpond.
