About

Formed from part of our field in 2021, The Secret Garden is a boutique flower and herb garden which is a joy to the senses, bursting with colour and scent and teeming with wildlife. These are ecoflowers in the true sense of the word - grown sympathetically and with love. The garden is biodiverse and a haven for wildlife, from bees and butterflies to two different woodpecker species, greenfinches, wagtails, thrushes and many other garden birds. We also have an organic form of pest control - two runner ducks called Valerie and Clive. We have deliciously scented sweet peas right through the season from May - November in a range of colours, and a huge range of other seasonal blooms including tulips, spring bulbs, peonies, a huge range of annuals, perennials, dahlias, roses and a wildflower patch. The Secret Garden is open for pick your own flowers on certain days, and we also hold Cream Tea and Flowers days - where you can enjoy a homemade Devonshire cream tea and pick your own flowers. I do bouquets and posies to order and we have an Edwardian flower barrow for farm gate sales, and a popup stand at Tiverton Parkway railway station. DIY wedding buckets are a speciality as well as a full wedding package, and florists are welcome for wholesale buckets. Farewell flowers are also available, where I take time to find out about the character of the person and use flowers which would have been meaningful to them, sometimes incorporating foliage or flowers from the deceased’s own garden. In the winter I make Christmas wreaths and garlands using local, organically grown firs and our own wild holly and ivy (www.christmaswreathsdirect.co.uk) I look forward to hearing from you, having a chat and welcoming you to The Secret Garden.
