56 Barrydale Avenue NG9 1GN

Open on Saturday only

A small, 1930s split-level gardener’s garden with wild, native, and cultivated plants designed with wildlife at the heart of everything. Pleached Copper Beech stand in naturalistic herbaceous borders reined-in by small gravel paths, with wildlife habitats and frog pond.

You’ll also be very welcome to view the We Dig NG9 wild verge at the end of Barrydale Avenue / Lacemaker Avenue, which has been adopted for wildlife by owners of No56 since 2014 – with native hedgerow, fruit trees, wildflowers, and a large ‘Bug Squat’.

Dogs on short lead allowed.
