This delightful little site demonstrates just how much can be fitted into a small garden. It is a veritable gem of a site, which should come as no surprise having been extensively made over by Charlie Dimmock’s Ground Force. The garden is much used by Bellenden Primary School across the road and replaces one that used to be in the school grounds.
