As you round the corner by the turn-off to the School, a rather special sight greets your eyes. Over the last few years, an area of ‘wilderness’ has been transformed into a calming, charming woodland garden. This transformation has been achieved thanks to an enormous amount of hard work by Dorothy L, who has realised her vision to establish meandering paths and wild flowers in a natural setting.
One of the joys of Spring is to see the daffodils bloom in this area. This year, they are magnificent. Here is Dorothy tending her garden:
Dorothy has kindly allowed us to photograph aspects of her garden. Click on each image to enlarge it.









I love walking past the woodland garden – there’s always something new to catch the eye. Many thanks to Dorothy, for working so hard to create such a beautiful spot!
Dorothy’s woodland is a sight to behold! She must have the greenest fingers in Derbyshire. Keep up the good work Dolly!
How lovely to see my dear mum ‘au naturel’ as it were – amongst her daffs, big smile, bucket of twigs in hand. As I’m spending the spring and summer in Southern France I’ll miss out on the woodland wonderland this year so thank you so much for the opportunity, through these lovely photographs, to see that mum, and the daffodils, are both blooming. Give her my love if you’re passing by! Jill
