Wildlife

We have an abundance of wildlife on the site. We garden and run the nursery using organic principles. Over the twelve years we have been here we have seen a rise in the number and volume of species living around us. As a consequence we have a lot of natural pest control allowing us to avoid the use of pesticides.
