Bide-a-Wee Cottage Gardens, Netherwitton
The garden’s location is remarkable; a large portion of the land is tucked away in a small disused quarry site upon a 500ft ridge. The unique, two-acre site combines a landscape of rock and water and thus benefits from enormous variations of aspect, topography and growing conditions, meaning that a variety of habitats can be afforded and a huge array of unusual plants thrive here.
