Established in the late 1960s by Robin's parents and subsequently taken over by Robin and Edwina and their family, this garden is situated on the north side of Dartmoor at approximately 1000ft above sea level. It is about one and a half acres, faces south and provides a contrast between the rugged grandeur of Dartmoor and the verdant serenity of a cultivated garden.
The garden contains a very wide range of unusual trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants for year round effect, including alpines, rhododendrons, bulbs and maples. Woodland plants and many spring bulbs are at their best in April.
The garden is designed using the different levels to create smaller gardens, each with their own particular features and micro climate, separated by trees and rhododendrons but still allowing glimpses of the stunning Taw valley and Dartmoor.
Also included is an organic kitchen garden growing unusual and heritage vegetable varieties, two greenhousesm, willow structures and traditional breed chickens. There are also plenty of wilder areas for grass snakes, slow worms, rabbits, deer and over 40 species of birds.
Admission costs only £3. Refreshments are available. Your dog is welcome to accompany you if well behaved. We regret that access for disable visitors is limited when the weather is wet.
Please support Robin and Edwina at their open garden and enjoy a wonderful afternoon in a beautiful garden at the edge of the moor.
