Garden nation
Britain has more gardens open for visitors than anywhere else the world, and in South Somerset you can well believe it because we are spoiled for choice with many gorgeous large gardens really close by; from the intimate National Trust Lytes Carey to the privately owned modern art gallery and vast gardens at Hestercombe.

These local outdoor spaces are perfect for planting inspiration, the Wood family love spending time in our Somerset country garden and we have been working really hard on revamping the space over the past few summers.

walled gardens in Somerset UK are great sheltered areas for a wide variety of annual and perennial flowering plants. — Our walled garden has many self seeded flowers on the old brick walls.

Turning it from a rather odd outdoor space with minimal growing room, to a compact but abundant home for a variety of plants, birds and bees.
We are fortunate to know several keen amateur gardeners who are on hand for advice and plant-chat, we also often refer to our local gardening magazine, now available online ‘Country Gardener’ is filled with inspirational photos, features and tips to get the best out of your garden, geared towards the South West of England, we find the local events and seasonal planting guides especially helpful.

Our relaxing courtyard space
To make the most of our small walled garden we have a small ceramic waterfall, which is placed against the climbing hydrangea in a partly shaded corner, we love the calming sound of the flowing water and the tiered blue ceramic bowls spilling their cooling water into the dappled sunshine remind us of our trips to the large public fountains of the beautiful parks of Seville in southern Spain.
