What's going on
We use the garden at Hill Top throughout the season to demonstrate some of the skills of our countryside team use, eg dry stone walling; and to celebrate special days like Apple Day.
Activities to try
If you have time, give our garden trail a go. It's designed for children, but grown-ups are free to give it a go too!
