The Edible Garden primarily features a gravel herb garden, with various edible plants and trees. A repurposed copper pot, once used in the castle kitchens, serves as a central water feature – a symbol of resilience. Surrounding it are willow obelisks, inspired by the castle’s characterful chimneys. Keeping with the ethos of sustainability, the gravel feature is made from crushed brick and whelk shells – a sustainable alternative to quarried gravel.
