About 20 Forum members made their way to Burrow Farm Gardens on 12th May for their visit. The weather was sunny and clear and pleasantly warm - in short, ideal for strolling around these wonderful gardens.
The owners purchased Burrow Farm in 1959 and initially it was farmed. Concurrently Mrs Benger started creating a garden around the house. over the years this was gradually this was extended and now covers something like 13 acres of land. There is also a plant sales area and a tea room, and the whole has been very tastefully landscaped with all manner of trees, shrubs and flowers, a lake and a bog garden. The plants have been laid out to take advantage of the contours and natural features of the land and the design is such that the visitor is constantly delighted by the new vistas that open up at every turn. It is truly one of the most attractive and well maintianed garden that many of us have seen and it is well worth a visit.
