Garden News
Autumn brings such a variety of colour to our gardens and Schramm’s Cottage is no exception.Early camelias are already making their appearance and the Iceberg roses in front of Atkin’s Cottage give it a very homely look.
Recent rainfall has been refreshing for our many plants.
Constant work is required to keep the garden looking its best for our visitors and requires team effort on a regular basis.
Offers of help on any Wednesday morning would be very much appreciated.

The old world garden
Major alterations have been made to the Old World Garden. A low stone wall, seventy feet long was built behind the lavender walk. This has been back filled with rich soil and further up the slope another short wall makes a second terrace. Plants in the garden are being rerranged and new shrubs added to it.Alongside these is a rose taken from the original plant 7 brought out from England in the 1850's by the Speers family and given to the satiety by Miss Violet Crouch. The work was carried out by Eric Collyer, Claude Symons. Ken Smith, Jack Bartlett and Irvine Green, and two azaleas were donated by Mrs Burgess.
The lawns and gardens at Schramm's Cottage receive many compliments for their well kept appearance. To keep the gardens in good condition we need the help of members. It would be appreciated if members could spend an hour or two weeding the garden when they have spare time.
