The Old Vicarage - Open Garden for NGS
1.7 acre well established garden and a developing wildlife garden of just over an acre, with hundreds of different snowdrops, crocus and many other bulbs and winter flowering shrubs. A stream meanders down to a pond and there are lovely reflections in the swimming pond, the first to be built in Dorset. The wildlife garden has been planted with several unusual trees.
