11am – 5pm

Street Farm, The Street, Foxley

Admission £1.50

With a background of ancient meadowland, the relaxed cottage garden style of planting here has something to offer at each season.  Masses of Spring bulbs, Hellebores and Cyclamen Coum give way to the heady scents of Summer Roses, Shrubs and Herbaceous Borders.  In Autumn Colchicums and Cyclamen Neapolitanum appear under a canopy of colourful leaves. 

One path leads to a pergola which supports Clematis and Jasmine.  Elsewhere alpines grow in the rockery and in various troughs and planters.  Some distance away a large natural pond is home to a family of moorhens which raise several broods each year.

The vegetable garden is divided by gravel paths and edged with Rose and Clematis covered trellis.  Not far away a shady dell with seating offers somewhere to rest awhile.

Toilet facilities are available.
