Vertical Gardening
We’re still on the Fletching Garden Trail
Today we’re visiting the Garden of Mr and Mrs King which is notable for having a complete food production ecosystem in the middle of one of the most unspoilt villages around and just a stones throw from the famous Griffin Inn which has arguably the best pub garden in the Universe.
Their garden has plenty of tranquillity near the house but as you get down the deep end there are pigs, chickens and some highly productive veg. They even have one of the intelligent seats from the last post – so it’s not all digging and delving. They’re not alone of course – several of the other gardens ran to hens and there were plenty of raised beds and potagers about.
It’s really interesting to see how different the gardens are – one even has its own observatory while Clinton Lodge which we’ll have a look at soon has many different garden”rooms” and can be visited via the NGS scheme.
But if you want to see the Good Life in action you’ll have to wait till the next Garden Trail next June – in the meantime here are some photies to be going on with.
Next Post we’ll cover something about how plants grow.
It's not all work
But there's lots of vegetables
