A warm welcome awaits you at these three attractive compact town gardens a short walk apart and each with a different character. 1 Woodside Cottages: A very pretty, small cottage garden packed with colourful plants both ornamental and edible and even the resident chickens are decorative. Fruit trees and vegetables grow side by side with perennial and annual flowers and a small pond supports a multitude of frogs each spring. 18 Conesford Drive: This professionally designed and planted garden lies at the back of a 1960s modernist house. Restrained planting of herbaceous flowering plants, climbers and small shrubs give the garden a Japanese feel and a small pool contains white flowering water lilies.
