‘Tregonning’ is a 1½ acre, fully organic family garden bursting with wildlife and contained within old ‘Enclosure Award’ hedges full of tree sparrows. Over many years, composts and mulches have been extensively used to feed and condition the sandy loam. Fruit and heritage vegetables are grown for family use together with a ¾ acre wildlife meadow, several wildlife ponds and two wells. Separate garden areas, each with herbaceous borders feature a collection of old roses combined with hardy perennials. A small glasshouse houses heritage varieties of Pelargoniums and another is used for heritage tomatoes.
