The following description is taken from the Royal Horticultural Society’s Garden Finder:

  “Abbey Cottage would be a fine garden by any standards - it has a firm design, beautiful flint-and-brick walls, good lines, interesting plants, good colour schemes and immaculate standards of tidiness - but what makes it especially interesting is that the owner is a recent convert to organic gardening. He says that 'organic gardening was the element missing from my gardening ... now the garden feels complete'. The garden is maintained as much for the pleasure of his many friends and visitors as for his own pleasure.”
