City Edge Garden

Did you know that …

... the City Edge Garden was not part of the original plans for the Landscape Park? The area was discovered by chance and integrated into the plans retrospectively.

… the arbour with hawthorn bushes was already present? The bushes were simply cut back and supplemented with some additional planting.

… the brick wall at the entrance was re-laid to mark off the City Edge Garden from the surrounding area?

… to the west of the garden the impenetrable ‘wilderness’ runs riot? The old gardens and their ornamental shrubs and fruit trees had been left for decades to grow wild and have become a valuable feeding and breeding area for birds.
