Lewis Cottage 16th Century Garden

represents a wonderful combination of relaxed planting schemes and formal borders. Its winding walkways, woods and absolutely glorious selection of unusual trees and plants have been inspired by the gardening styles of Gertrude Jekyll and Beth Chatto. Built in the 16th century by French Huguenots, this splendid one-acre woodland garden has expanded over the last twenty years to its current four-acre size.

The garden has featured on Pippa Quelch BBC Radio Devon show and West Country TV Open All Flowers series.

Devon Life and ‘The Garden’ RHS magazine has featured Lewis Cottage garden.

Garden plants will be available for sale on both days.

Open on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 June 2016, from 11:00am to 5:00pm.
