Wildlife Refuge

One of the joys and privileges of this garden is the daily inter-action with our native wildlife.  In the early hours just before dawn, it is a wonderful moment when the songbirds chorus in unison to welcome the new day.  Harmonious, cheerful voices echo through the trees as the natural world awakens from slumber.  In a world focused on 'our rights', it is important to think carefully about our responsibilities; we have a huge responsibility to protect and restore our countryside habitats for future generations to enjoy.  Life in a working village is about community, living and working harmoniously with each other as well as the land and the creatures who reside here.




Valley Garden Paradise is a peaceful,working garden, although without doubt she can be a demanding mistress with her fertile soil and steep, terraced beds.  Under firm, but loving, hands she blossoms, benefiting greatly from regular pruning, mulching. Her payback for this custodianship is handsome,  her bounty providing a healing space to sooth and restore the soul. A joy and natural wonder for all who work and visit.
