June 2012 Photos of tree-damage to the Walled Garden
A tree was blown over into the garden during the recent storms in June 2012, causing structural damage to a section of the surrounding wall and to some of the work done within. Nobody was in the area at the time. After restricting access to the site, Teignbridge Council checked the area, moved the fallen tree, and confirmed that we could continue to garden on Sunday 17th June.
More details to follow.
Photos show some of the damage, and people working in the garden while enjoying the good weather on Sunday morning.
Tree damage to Walled Garden
As you know, the winds have been very powerful this week and unfortunately an ash has fallen onto the wall of our walled garden. It has cut right through a section of the wall between the old doorway and towards the compost bins.
Teignbridge will have been working on removing the tree yesterday (Saturday) and sadly we are not allowed to go into the walled garden until Teignbridge declares the site safe. So until further notice there will be no further gardening.
