Mione Open Garden at Mione

Beautiful garden with a wide variety of established plants, many rare and unusual. Pergola with climbing roses and clematis. Wildlife pond with many newts, insects and frogs. Numerous containers with diverse range of planting. Several seating areas, each with a different atmosphere. Enjoy our new benches in a secret hideaway under the pergola.

Our garden is not a large one but over time the lawn has shrunk as the beds have been enlarged to accommodate as many plants as possible. We have a shady fern area and raised beds under the pergola housing woodland plants and semi tender specials. The pond is
always busy with life (no fish as we wanted to encourage wildlife).

We have plenty of newts and frogs, as well as abundant insect life. Watching dragonflies emerge can occupy hours! Bats are about in the evening feeding on the bugs attracted by the water. People who visit usually spend a long time enjoying one of the seating areas as they all give a different perspective. We do not go in for a colour scheme in the Borders, plants are arranged according to leaf shape and anything that doesn't look good we just dig up and move. The feel of the garden we hope is tranquil and relaxing and enjoys a beautiful view of the skirrid.
