The English Garden Tour: Garden 8, Old Barn Cottage, Warninglid, Sussex
Old Barn Cottage, Warninglid, Sussex
Old Barn Cottage was next on our tour of the Warninglid gardens on the National Garden Schemes. This small garden had just experienced a re-do landscaping plan which raised garden beds and added a seating area. I loved the wood timbered garden room just off the back of the house. The gardens are filling up quickly with enthusiastic gardeners, so lets get in and see the Old Barn Cottage! I wonder was it really an old barn at one time? It does step back from the other cottages in the row. Love it!

The raised beds began in the front of the cottage and the look was carried through into the garden in the back. A beautiful garden starts at your front door!

Did you notice the rock display in the front of the cottage? The rock theme was continued throughout the garden! Just a few white rocks scattered here and there adds interest!

Here in the S-curve design of the garden the outdoor table and chair area was raised to a higher level and it really set off the garden.

Another lovely entrance. I liked the deep blue flowers on the brick wall in your lime photo.
