The Gardens are Craig’s domain. A labour of love since 2001. From very humble beginnings, the gardens have grown from a small patch to over four acres of loveliness.
With gardens within gardens, they stretch from the formal to the wild, from the eclectic to the down right eccentric. The gardens attract many visitors under the National Garden Scheme, with hundreds of visitors each year. 2020/21 were tricky years (mild understatement) but Woodlands Farm was the featured garden on the NGS’s opening of its virtual gardens at Easter 2020, with over 20,000 views online. Over the subsequent summers the gardens opened during the Spring when the bulbs and blossom looked at their best, raising thousands of pounds for worthwhile charities. Sadly we are not opening in 2023 but will reopen with renewed vigour in 2024.
There is so much to see, whether you are an enthusiastic gardener or you simply enjoy wandering around gardens. With sculptures, ponds, a viewing platform, a parterre garden, man-made mounds, a cherry blossom orchard, a huge veggie garden, an Acer walk, a rose garden, a glass house, a garden room, a cutting garden and so much more.
We love to share the gardens and make them available to all guests who choose to stay at Woodlands Farm.
