Woodpeckers is a country garden of 2.5 acres in a small hamlet with views over the surrounding pastures. Field hedges have been removed to make the most of this borrowed landscape. The garden is of interest throughout the year. A mixed border is devoted to plants that look their best in the winter and trees with coloured bark have been chosen for their colour at this time of year.
A meadow garden provides excitement in spring followed by an explosion of flowers in the colour-themed borders in summer. Old roses and many clematis are a feature at this time. The garden is largely informal, but a knot garden and a potager with unusual vegetables and old varieties of apple, fit happily into the scene. Two timber framed buildings of green oak afford good viewing points in the garden and are themselves works of art.
The owners, Dr. Lallie Cox, built a house with her husband, Andy, here in 1965 and have created and maintained the garden unaided. There was no masterplan - it just evolved. The aim was to create a garden in sympathy with the surrounding countryside. Fashion in plants and design are always changing. You will see the influence of historic gardens and modern plantsman gardening here.
