Link to Booking Form
Rob and Diane Cole moved from Birmingham to Meadow Farm in September 1998 to seek a more rural way of life. To enable them to continue running their plant growing business from this new location they set about building a new ¾ acre nursery in part of their 2 acre meadow, before turning their attention to creating a garden in the one acre plot to the rear of the house.
Today the garden is laid out as a blend of formal and informal areas, and includes a natural stream, paved and seating areas, vistas and enclosed spaces, a scree bed and wide borders of herbaceous planting. The remainder of the 2 acre meadow is now managed as a wildlife reserve to encourage native flora and fauna.
Meadow Farm is situated on the main B4090 Droitwich Road, on the western edge of the village of Feckenham (Droitwich side), just inside the 40 mph zone, opposite Berrow Hill Lane. We will have a Union Jack flag and an orange bollard at the entrance (which is a gap in a hawthorn hedge). It is very easy to miss us so drive slowly and keep looking. If you are lost telephone 07961 377506.
