Gardens Don’t Have To Be Big To Be Beautiful 07/07/2010 ....but they do need lots of attention! See for yourself by visiting Barry & Melanie Davy’s garden at Brooke Cottage in the heart of Handforth this weekend!
Garden Update: 14/05/2010 Please note the postcode of WA16 6SW for Peover Hall Gardens is incorrect. The correct postcode is WA16 9HW which is located 8.5 miles further south. Please take the A50 through Knutsford, and then turn left into Stocks Lane, ahead onto Grotto Lane, and then right onto Blackden Lane.
