On Thursday, 4th August, thirteen Garden Club members enjoyed a visit to Prospect House just outside Axminster town centre. Hidden behind high stone walls, this tranquil 1 acre garden has been created by the current owner over a 20 year period. Colourful planting,
including many different varieties of Salvia plus Echinacea, Helenium, Helianthus, Rudbeckia and Crocosmia are interspersed with various grasses, shrubs and mature trees, including a fine Ginkgo biloba. Secluded parts of the garden were accessed by meandering paths in
contrast to an impressive open area with extensive views over the town church to the wider Axe valley beyond.
