The Garden

When we arrived at Kirklands in 1977 the garden had long since disappeared. The walled garden was home to two ponies and there was just a patch of grass to the front and rear of the house, the rest was rough ground and woodland. Over the years we have created the garden.

Initially, when the family were young, Peter and a retired miner, Benny, rebuilt the walls and removed overgrown or dead trees.  As the children grew we all joined in, ably assisted by our German Shepherd, Bradie.  Now Louisa and Mark have left home and we are helped in the garden by our German Shepherd, Harley.

The garden is open from April to September on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 2:00pm to 5:30pm, other times are probably OK, but please give us a call first (01383 852737).
