Urban Oasis

A masterclass in small-space gardening, this enchanting urban garden is living proof that great things come in small packages. Visitors consistently marvel at how much has been thoughtfully woven into this compact space - from espaliered fruit trees and flourishing vegetable beds to more garden art than Geoff thinks is strictly necessary - though visitors (and Rose) tend to disagree.
Cleverly designed as a series of outdoor rooms, the garden flows effortlessly between styles - one moment you're surrounded by classic roses, lavender, and clipped buxus, the next by bold flax and swaying ornamental grasses.
Whether you're looking to be inspired, entertained, or simply charmed, this garden delivers. Gather in the inviting entertaining area, or try your hand at a game of pétanque on the resident court - a delightful touch that brings a little of the French countryside to town.
A must-see for anyone dreaming of making the most of their own urban oasis.
Complimentary home-made lemonade.
