Description:
This secluded, half-acre country garden grew from a passion for plants combined with the pursuit of a beautiful and sustaining environment. Over the past six years, several distinctive spaces have blossomed through a no-dig organic approach including: a cottage garden, naturalistic planting of grasses and perennials, wildlife pond and productive vegetable garden (with a living fence of espaliered apple and pear trees). Playful use of driftwood and built structures contribute height and imaginative form. A wide range of plants create interest throughout the seasons.
Directions: At bus stop in Bridge Road, Caputh, take eastward unmetalled lane signposted Spittalfield. The narrow & uneven lane continues for ½ mile to the cottage by a small lochan opposite Braecock Mill. Bus 34 from Perth stops at the bus stop, but only car/bike or walking access from there. Park on the grass verge by the cottage, with parking for disabled access closer to the house.
