Beechwell House Garden

Beechwell House (so named because of the Beech Tree and the 16th century well in the garden) is a privately owned garden located in Yate, near Bristol, South Glos, UK. Since moving into the property in 1990, the garden has been transformed by owner Tim Wilmot from what was once a large patio, beech hedge and overgrown orchard, into a garden of largely sub-tropical and architectural planting. The garden has been completely designed, created and maintained by myself. There are no professional gardeners on my plot! First, the orchard was cleared making way for a border at the back of the garden and a Koi pond. Unfortunately I planted 'invasive' bamboos around the pond, which have perforated 3 butyl liners since no such thing as a 25-year guarantee when it comes to bamboo!
