An unexpected layout
Colourful plants, both flowers and foliage
Unusual plants, perhaps from foreign countries
Hidden corners
Places to sit and contemplate
High walls that suggest secrets within
Maybe views of the surrounding area
……..and much, much more
A hidden garden can be large or small
shady or sunny
have a pond, summer house, terrace
lawns, flower beds, shrubs, wildlife areas
vegetable patches and/or greenhouses
the only stipulation is that access to the garden must not be through your house.
Some gardens serve refreshments or have plants for sale
