We're making changes

Our Head Gardener Emma and assistant Ross, together with a willing team of volunteers have been working really hard over the past few months developing the garden. We're sure you'll like the changes that they have made.

Time to sit back, relax and enjoy

Hare Hill is an ideal spot for anyone wanting to enjoy peace and tranquillity without having to walk too far.

A number of benches are dotted about the estate and the walled garden is only a short walk from the car park.

We hope to keep the bees buzzing

Our head gardener, who's a qualified bee keeper, aims to encourage bees into the garden by planting bee friendly flowers and plants.

We aim to regularly inspect the colony, so look out for information on our blackboards.

We've had some beautiful wooden hares carved and as a result have installed a new hare sculpture trail throughout the woodland garden.

So why not come and take a look for yourself, who knows what else you might find.
