The excellent gardening team at Goodnestone Park Gardens have been at it again. A length of beech hedge was removed as it was struggling in a low light area of the gardens. Instead of burning the waste, it has been transformed into a superb dead-hedge. The irregular stems form an interlocking web, ideal for hibernating insects and probably for nesting birds next spring. A great example of nature-friendly gardening.
