Below is a timeline of how this wonderful ten acre garden was created from scratch in 50 years through the determination of its owner:

1959 – John and Mary move to Burrow Farm to build up a dairy herd
1966 – Mary started to turn old Roman clay pit into garden with the help of her four young children
1974 – The garden now stretched to 4 acres and is opened for the first time just for the month of May
1975 – Garden opened under National Garden Scheme again during May
1983 – John retired from dairy farming
1985 – The Pergola Walk was built to make use of a very narrow strip of land
1993 – The current house replaced the timber and asbestos bungalow that was there when John and Mary moved to the farm.
1994 – Courtyard and Terrace Gardens created around the new house
1998-2000 – The Millennium Garden created over a period of two years.
2000 – Garden expanded further with the planting of Cornus and Azaleas around a new large pond
2002 – Traditional thatched summerhouse built to overlook pond created 2 years before
2006 – Craft Shop and Conference room built
2007 – Azalea Glade planted having removed a sea of brambles
2008 – View point walk created to provide stunning views of the garden and surrounding countryside
2009 – Anniversary Garden made to celebrate 50 years at Burrow Farm for John and Mary. The beds on either side of the sunken path are a blaze of colour during late summer and autumn.

The Future – John and Mary own a further 25 acres so who knows!
