The Secret Garden

How many fairies and gnome houses can you spot in the garden?

The garden features an old-growth stump encircling small, intricately decorated wooden doors, moss, twigs and delicate blooming plants creating a fantastical scene for the imagination to run wild.

A waterfall and pond that runs through the garden encourages small wildlife, including squirrels, raccoons, birds and frogs to make regular visits.
