Visit to
Townsend Farmhouse, Steppingley
Townsend Farmhouse, Rectory Road, Steppingley, Bedfordshire,
MK45 5AT www.ngs.org.uk/find-a-garden/garden/32973/
“A tree
lined driveway with young specimen trees and mature broad leaves. The garden is
planted for year-round interest. In May and June, the cottage-garden style
herbaceous borders are filled with early perennials while roses wind their way
through apple trees and ferns begin to unfurl. Changing colours of acers,
hydrangeas, dahlias, asters and other late perennials offer up a final flourish
in early autumn. Situated in the centre is a pretty cobbled courtyard
with a glass house for tender specimen plants and a Victorian well 30 metres
deep, viewed through a glass top.”
The cost for the visit to Townsend Farmhouse is £10 per
person including refreshments. There will also be plants for sale in aid
of the national Garden Scheme.
Shared transport – leaving Riseley around 6.15pm.
