and other late spring flowers. Some of the surrounding gardens are quite large, so we have the benefit of other people’s trees and shrubs as a backdrop.  Wheelchair access. Flat in all areas. Afternoon tea served, with sweet and savory choices.

We converted the barn and stables in 1978. A major part of the garden is at the front on a higher level than the barn and back garden with two steps down. The smaller back garden has decking, paving, small lawn and raised beds.  

 It’s a formal garden with box and yew hedging. Flower beds include iris, peonies, unusual hellebores, clematis and ferns. Various sitting areas follow the sun’s path. There is a Carpentaria California that Carol Klein told me would not grow as far north as Lincolnshire. It thrives in our garden! The historic church at the end of the road is well worth a visit and if you want lunch before your visit-

Garden 1: Ingham  Two Garden Visit

Owner:    Gill Stonham  

Date:        Friday June 7th                                      

Time:      From 2 pm  

A south facing garden that is still waiting to reach its potential. Effort has gone in to try and  

create different areas using beech hedges, borders, plants and saddle stones. A gabion has been filled with cones and other wild materials to create a second bug hotel. Water collection barrels have been increased to allow over 1500 litres of water to be captured. To create height, tripods and arches have had some success but could do so much more to provide points of vertical interest. The east corner has been left as small wild area. To the west facing side of the house there is a small new patio area a productive vegetable patch, a new raspberry bed and a very busy greenhouse.  

As you wander around do consider our plea…how might we reach its true potential!

Coming to live in Wellingore 8 years ago, which is situated on a limestone cliff, it was quite a challenge to transform a large gravel driveway into flowerbeds. These now contain salvias, echinacea, cistus and roses. Join me for a cup of tea in my walled garden near the church.  

Just two miles away is another garden to visit, both serving refreshments!
