The Garden of Watermill House.
Whilst selling the programs for this event from the newsagents the question that turned up more often than almost any other was "Will Watermill House be open?" I was glad to tell them that indeed it was and I'm glad to report that as ever it did not disappoint. Set along the banks of the mill race the garden is the result of 12 years work by Sue and Mike Berridge. The pathways of the garden's eastern ranges over steep wooded banks covered in a beautiful array of ferns and other greenery. These banks lead down to the a lush green lawn alongside a large pond surrounded by a wide and interesting range of plants many aquatic or suitable for wet areas. Towards the south end of the garden the pond returns to a state of riverhood and it is here a bridge allows passage to the western side of the garden where the lawns are home to various trees including several willows and a group of white birches. The over all effect is both natural and peaceful.
