Garden NotesNestled within the quaint embrace of Sonning lies the timeless allure of Devon Cottage, a haven where nature's whimsical enchantment abides. Step into a verdant garden unfurling since its creation in 1956. Once a humble nursery, this land of 3/4 acre now beckons wanderers with its simple splendour.
As you amble along the winding paths, each twist and turn reveals a new wonder to behold. Lush foliage bathes the senses in a kaleidoscope of greens. Amidst this botanical symphony stands the revered Parrotia Persica, a titan of arboreal grace, its branches whispering secrets carried through generations. Here, time bends and Devon Cottage's garden, a living testament to Edna Walling's vision, invites you to lose yourself in its tales of nature’s magic. Rambling pathways meander through lush foliage, guiding visitors on a journey of discovery. Delicate ferns cascade over moss-covered rocks, while tall trees umbrella above. It is not only a residence but a sanctuary - a place where the boundary between indoors and out blurs seamlessly. Its sun-dappled courtyard invites quiet contemplation, while shaded alcoves offer respite from the midday heat. |
