Me and my mother who were visiting jersey on a short winter break decided to stop by this hidden gem on our travels, I am so delighted we did because it was such a truly wonderful experience! As we entered there was an info board with information about the different shops and upcoming events/happenings which was very helpful as a tourist! The gardens are breathtakingly beautiful and tranquil to walk around at the right time and there is also lots to do if you have children with you, there was a charity shop on site that we enjoyed visiting there was lots of good stuff and for a cause that is close to the owners heart which does make it even more special, not to mention we were offered tea/coffee on arrival to the shop as we planned to look around for a while! we had a chat with the owner (reg) who was very friendly and answered all of our random questions about his wonderful gardens and all of the quirky things that make it, as we walked though/around the gardens and over the bridge we found more small shops/huts where I found some lovely hand made souvenirs for my furry friends.
Enjoying more of the gardens and the effort that has gone into making them so spectacular we come across a hut that was unfortunately closed for a short time but we still took interest and read the notice to find out they do some crafts (the one we were looking at was a mosaic with tiles I'm not sure if there was more as we didn't look at everything) we are both really looking forward to coming back to do some mosaics in the summer months and enjoy the gardens some more In the sunshine! I also got to meet regs beautiful ginger furry friend who can be extremely friendly If you have the correct approach! (It does say to avoid stroking the cat as he can bite but this is so you don't persistently bother the cat especially children which is more than understandable, we came in a quiet month so he was probably happy to see some new faces) he also enjoyed a little sniff of the catnip hedgehogs I purchased
The whole place was such a delight to visit and we are very excited to come back
I would like to say a special thankyou to reg and his wonderful volunteers! You make this place truly wonderful and special, the vibe is kind, inviting and relaxing and I felt at home as soon as I walked in! Thankyou for such a beautiful experience we are so looking forward to seeing you again!
