We’d love to show you around the mill gardens.\u00a0 We have flower gardens all around the mill, along the leat and even into the next county.\u00a0 We have soft fruit on terraces up the hillside and orchards on the hillside.\u00a0 Hardy fushias, geraniums, peiris and rhododendron grow particularly well here.\u00a0 We have\u00a0a herb garden in a raised bed alongside the driveway which is very attractive to bees and butterflies.<\/p>\n
The wild flowers in the woodland and meadows around the mill should count as a garden in their own right, starting with snowdrops clustering along the river sides in January\/February.\u00a0 Bluebells fill the woods in May and orchids can be found along the roadsides.\u00a0 The verges and hedgerows are a riot of colour in June and laburnum trees hang golden chains above the country lanes.\u00a0 The long hot days of summer mean pleasant walks in shady woods and autumn brings vibrant colour to the valley.\u00a0 Then winter paints it all with a silver sheen and the snowdrops start again.<\/p>\n
