St Ethelwold’s garden is open for all to find peace and inspiration. A display of pictures, inside St Ethelwold’s House, shows the garden over the last six decades.

Two volunteer gardeners were working today. In 2021, the gardeners introduced an irrigation system – more efficient than hosepipes – that other gardeners could copy.

Many flowers are blooming, making the garden popular with insects, particularly bumble bees and honey bees.

There are also flowers to feed butterflies.

There is an area for growing fruit and vegetables.

As you leave, you can take produce and seeds and magazines and leave a money donation. Cooking and eating apples are abundant at the end of August.
