RHS Bide-a-wee Cottage Gardens
The garden’s location is remarkable; a large portion of the land is tucked away in a small disused quarry site upon a 500ft ridge. The unique, two-acre site combines a landscape of rock and water and thus benefits from enormous variations of aspect, topography and growing conditions, meaning that a variety of habitats can be afforded and a huge array of unusual plants thrive here.

The garden fosters a historic identity, with nods to its former function apparent throughout the garden where the natural rock walls are accentuated by evergreen conifers and contrasting hedging. A tearoom, selling home-baked cakes and scones is located within a building that once served as a sawmill. The original quarry track is still in place, and beckons toward a pond in the shaded site of what was once the quarry bottom, accentuated by a dramatic backdrop of gunnera, ostrich ferns and primulas.
