Great Close Field is one and a half acres – just a field of ‘grass’ until April 2006
when we started working on it. Access is via the bridleway leading south from the
Cambridge Road just outside the village. There are ‘self-guided’ tour notes in a
plastic box at the entrance. Cars can be parked in the village centre car park.
Disabled people: please ring 01767 313898 to arrange to drive right to Great Close
Field.
Each corner of the Garden is planted with fruit trees – apple, pear, cherry, plum,
greengage, mulberry. We have soft fruit too – raspberries, blackberries, currants,
rhubarb. We also have a compost corner showing many ways of dealing with organic
waste. The beds around the circular lawn have flowers and herbs. There is a willow
nursery: we harvest the willow for making living willow sculptures and wigwams. Various
types of hedging are planted. There are benches and picnic tables.
