Welcome to Midsummer Cottage Garden

This gardening blog is a record of our adventures and mishaps as we attempt to get to grips with our West Devon garden.

Situated with magnificent views over Dartmoor, the garden was originally created with much love, skill and effort by previous owners Jenny and Bob, and as the new custodians we are both excited and daunted by the challenges that await us.

We welcome any feedback, comments or suggestions!

Many thanks for visiting.
