Roman Garden

The addition of double access gates in 2012 was key in enabling us to transport materials and maintain the area and the construction of our Roman Garden began around an exisiting apple tree and a fig tree. Over the years, we've added olive trees, box, bay, herbs, vines and strawberries.   The Roman Garden leads on to our orchard with apple, pear, apricot, plum and cherry trees.

  • Roman Garden with raised beds ready for planting. Our olive tree (rescued from the destruction of our arid garden at the front of school during the building of the Children's Centre) survives to reach its new home in the circular stone bed.
