Welcome to Lower Blakemere Farm

Welcome to the Wiggly Garden

We get lots of visitors here at Lower Blakemere Farm so, back in 2002, we decided to rebuild the farmhouse’s old walled garden to show off our products in their natural environment. The idea was to to create a lovely garden for visitors to look round and let them see for themselves our recycling philosophy in action. So, with a design commissioned from the leading organic gardener and RHS Medal winner Bridget Evans, we set to work.

Using the links below you can follow the garden's progress as we transformed the old lawn from a muddy building site through its early growth and on to a wonderful haven of colour and delight.
