The Secret Garden

It's my birthday today and my wife took me on a surprise visit to a garden that is so secret, you have to go through the car park of a fencing contractor to find it only then to find it closed! It is a walled garden that used to be open as a Medicine Garden. The gates weren't bolted so we did go in and look around. We met the young lady who has taken on the lease and she told us what she hoped to do to bring the garden back into use. She has moved there from Kew Gardens so I'm sure she'll make a great job of it and we promised to visit on my next birthday. We got over our disappointment by having a very nice lunch at The Running Mare in nearby Cobham.
