FROM THE GARDEN.
The rear garden was the focus of activity last spring with
all the paths re-laid and lighting introduced to the darker
parts.We also took the opportunity to vastly improve mobility
by creating a new footpath with a lower gradient.Following
this the upper lawn was rebuilt with new walls & drainage
with the pond receiving a new stone fountain with planters.
FROM THE GROUNDS.
The work on the planters at the entrance has now been concluded
for the time being and greater focus is now being attached
to the mile long drive down to the hotel - where the old
stumps were dispatched! All of the Evergreens have now been
removed and the road widened and banks grassed. Many of
the banks were planted with bulbs this Autumn - 33 sack
loads to be precise so bring on the Spring! Also the banks
to the south of the hotel have also been concluded with
a recent sewing of grass maturing. The intention to create
a bird watching walk has now been realised with all year
round access to the lake now in place. In the Autumn we
created 3 new scrapes lakes to help with biodiversity (more
bugs = more plants = more mammals & birds = more bugs
.....) and these will grow during 2006.
