Tilford Cottage Garden

Cross the new bridge heading out of Tilford towards The Reeds Road and shortly on your left hand side you will find a gardeners' delight. Opening under the auspices of the National Gardens Scheme, Tilford Cottage is a must to visit. Over the last twenty years, The Burns have turned a grass field surrounding their 17th cottage into a piece of paradise. Rod Burn is the renaissance man of gardening: an engineer by profession, he is an artist by nature. Don't be surprised by trees with a golden bole, white stemmed birch trained into a two-dimensional wall, or somebody falling head first into a yew hedge.
