Mikalgarth
Mike and Iris’s approx. 2/3rds of an acre garden created from a blank canvas over the past 9 years is situated in the village of Lastingham on the edge of the North York Moors. A flowing network of grass paths have been created with dense planting close to the bungalow which graduate to more expansive areas further from the property. Many interesting trees, shrubs and ornamental hedges have been planted to create varied pockets of planting including sunny & shaded damp areas, sweeping tall perennials, alpines planted in troughs and raised beds. Most recently a small, banked woodland area created from boulders uncovered during the creation of the garden.

We have introduced ornamental grasses into the garden and currently we have two beehives(!) and three pet Silkies running free. The garden is dominated by a 33 metre high Corsican pine. There is also a holiday cottage in the garden which posts pictures of the garden and local area on Instagram as @damsoncroftcottage.
