BENEFITS OF A WALLED GARDEN

There are plenty of advantages in having a walled garden like the one at The Laundry. “It remains more protected from severe weather and warmer than the rest of the garden,” says Tom. “We can grow figs against the south walls and possibly even nectarines and apricots, as it has been done before. The walls provide a great instant structure to the garden, both visually and practically, as they allow for roses and climbers to be grown against them, and they also make the garden more secure, helping to keep out rabbits as well as anything that might try to make off with the hens.”
