Mill Dene Garden
Garden Category: South Midlands Gardens
-
A beautiful 2.5 acre Cotswold water-mill garden, designed and planted by the owner. Steep, lawned terraces wind down to the mill, pool, stream and grotto. A rose walk, edged with lavender is lovely in late June, the cricket lawn with views over the Cotswolds leads up to the fruit garden and potager. The garden has many seats to enjoy the tranquility and vistas. This romantic garden is set around a lovely mill which is probably Norman. Sited in its own steep sided valley, the garden has hidden paths winding up from the mill-pool and stream at the bottom through the Rose Walk to the Cricket Lawn. At the very top, there are views over the Cotswold Hills, with the church as a backdrop. Also featured are a grotto; a potager; a trompe l’oeil and dye plants. The garden has been designed by Wendy Dare with help from Rupert Golby (RHS Chelsea prize winner) and flowers are chosen for scent wherever possible.
