Blooming Garden at The Drake Unit, Tavistock
Chollacott House resident come garden designer, Louise, has transformed the garden at the Drake Unit. By carefully selecting plants, flowers, shrubs and trees, she has created a wonderful scented, colourful, and peaceful place for residents and their visitors to enjoy. Fruit trees, sunflowers, tomatoes, runner beans, courgettes, lilacs, lavender – are all thriving in this little suntrap, with a draped sail providing shade from the midday sun. She has also created a willow canopy over a pretty wooden bench, again offering shade and privacy. Thank you Louise!
