Fieldcrest Garden School

Thank you for visiting our website and your interest in Fieldcrest. Set in 1.3 acres of countryside at the heart of the Wirral Peninsula, Fieldcrest boasts an established cottage garden and presents a varied programme of events and activities throughout the year. This area is mostly planted with a variety of shrubs, to be as low maintenance as possible. Many are evergreen to provide interest throughout the year. There is lots of ground cover for wildlife. I have planted more ferns, hostas and spring bulbs into the beds in the last few years.

This walkway has a formal design, with upright Junipers and Thuja spheres in the centre, backed by a Yew hedge (still growing). It is mainly planted with perennials and roses plus some shrubs such as Spiraea and Philadelphus. I have started to grow Clematis through the shrubs to provide some summer colour. We had to replace the original herb garden with some trees a few years ago.
