your kind of garden?

Hill House is a small, independent nursery at Landscove, Devon. Driving the last three miles to get there isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, it’s a single track lane with pull-ins in case you’re unlucky and meet a tractor. if you’re the passenger and don’t have to concentrate on the road, the views are spectacular. The road from the Devon Expressway takes you up Love Lane, Whistley Hill, Chuley Hill and Cabbage Hill!

Hill House is really worth the drive, it’s the prettiest place, with unusual plants, very friendly people and the best cakes, all made on the premises.  They don’t mind you wandering around the garden,

On a sunny day it’s a peaceful spot for lunch, cream tea (cream first, then jam of course) or some of that cake. The borders are densely planted, if you fall for something, you may find it in the nursery. There are narrow paths that open up to little surprises.

One of the paths leads to St Michael’s church.

Which has a Victorian broached spire and is very pretty inside

and has a Grade 11 listed, slate -roofed, buttressed lychgate.

Back to the garden,

For a last look down another path.

I’ll show you the nursery soon, I think you’ll love all the reclaimed items it has.

 

This is a scheduled post, be back soon.
