Monique and Richard Paice opened to the public on a single Sunday in 1987 under the auspices of the National Garden Scheme. This was an exciting time; the Paices had only just begun to take on a neglected wilderness with the hope of turning it into a cared for setting. Little did they think that with the help of a great team, they would achieve what is enjoyed today.
For many years, Monique Paice worked with what she liked to call a brown earth policy (lots of digging and not too much planting), growing organically in every sense of the word. Each season brought new challenges, as well as new plans for new projects. The same is true today, the garden is ever evolving: whether it is the installation of a new tunnel in the field opposite to allow us to grow even more exotica, or widening wide beds to accommodate more exciting foliage and flora.
Monique and Richard Paice have moved on to a house nearby for personal reasons. The new owners have decided to keep the garden open, we hope for the enjoyment of all.
