Owners - Cliff and Katie Sawdy

Moving to Cross Farm has been probably one of the most exciting yet daunting adventures our family has undertaken. The 2 acre garden was a powerful magnet but moving here was very much about the house and for reasons you will all understand, this has been central to our efforts over these first 6 months. So although we are pleased to take part in the 10th anniversary year of Frimley Greens’ Open Garden Day, it would be fair to say we may need a few more years before we are truly ready ‘to go public’. Nevertheless the garden calls us every day and, thanks to many years of careful planning and planting by the previous owners, we will see what the seasons bring us and make only small changes until we feel confident in incorporating our own ideas into what is already a well structured space. I honestly have no idea what floral delights or disasters await us on June 14th. There may be glorious delphiniums or just well fed slugs but I have a sneaking suspicion we may be able to at least rely on a rose or two.
