The Barn Garden

The garden of the Beanacre Barn is a particularly outstanding feature.

We are keen gardeners and have developed it in a contemporary cottage garden style. There are climbing roses on the high walls and the planting in the wide borders includes a range of perennials designed to provide interest and colour through the spring, summer and autumn seasons.

​The garden is exclusively for your enjoyment during your stay in the Beanacre Barn and is a beautiful and peaceful place in which to unwind. We provide garden furniture on the sheltered patio for al fresco eating and relaxing.

​​With grass meadows on all sides the garden is rich in wildlife. The resident pair of pheasants visit regularly and a wide selection of birds, ranging from goldfinches to buzzards, are to be seen in garden and the surrounding area.

Last year our visitors enabled us to contribute £1000 to the care charities supported by the NGS.

Open Garden Days at Church Farm House & Beanacre Barn for the NGS

2018 was our 12th year of opening our garden under the National Garden Scheme (NGS) and it is gratifying to be able report that we continued to receive many visitors; some from surprising distances and it is particularly pleasing to see the many who re-visit. Thank you all for your support for the NGS which in turn supports so many vital care charities.
​
Our 4 Open Days in June (2) and in July (2) were well attended. So, with the help of a number of 'by appointment' visits by garden tours and local clubs etc, a total of over 300 visited the garden.

After so many years we have decide to take a year or two off!
We shall of course continue to maintain and improve the garden and we hope it will continue to be a special feature and a source of pleasure and relaxation for our guests staying in the Beanacre Barn.

There are very many beautiful and inspiring gardens for you to visit in our local area which open for the National Gardens Scheme and we would be pleased to advise you and provide more information. the money collected by the NGS is donated to a number of vital care related charities, such as Marie Curie and the Macmillan Trust.
