PETER RABBIT HERB GARDEN
The greenhouse garden, featuring
an old greenhouse, full of plants, pots
and tools, with Peter Rabbit hiding
in a watering can! An area of herbs
are planted in a herbaceous border
cottage garden style. Old red brick
is used in this area of garden.
Mr. McGregor’s vegetable plot is
surrounded by a clipped box hedge
and has an abundance of vegetables
and herbs. Peter Rabbit’s blue jacket
creates a scarecrow, whilst the
gooseberry bushes that he got
caught up in are not far away.
The garden is designed to captivate
and delight with fine detail
replicating Beatrix Potter’s
illustrations. On display are a wide
variety of culinary and medicinal
herbs along with heritage vegetables
and cottage garden flowers.
The kitchen garden divides
the space in to three areas;
The natural garden, with a
“Long Scarlet” radish patch, long
grass and some wild flowers.
Slate is the backdrop to this part
of the garden, with a slate flagstone
pathway leading through to the
next area.
