A Visit to Wildside
On the other side of the village of Buckland Monachorum in Devon, down the road from The Garden House is the garden created by their previous head gardener, Keith Wiley and his late wife Ros, Wildside.
Carved, literally, out of a sloping West Devon field. the garden has been contoured with hills and valleys, allowing a naturalistic planting scheme to be featured in a dramatic landscape. Coupled with a wide range of plants, each chosen to fit the created terrain, and the result is a magical garden that I'm sorry not to have visited more often. Hopefully, these few images will provide a flavour of the garden as it was on the 27th April 2024. Click the images to embiggen.
Hopefully I'll find the time to return frequently during the year to see the garden as the season's unfold.
