Greenfields Garden is a 1.5 acre, plant persons' gem of a garden set on the Gloucestershire side of the beautiful lower Wye Valley ANOB (mid-way between Chepstow and Monmouth).
Greenfields has many mature trees and numerous unusual plants and shrubs, all carefully planted to create discrete gardens within a garden.
Greenfields is the passion and work of 'head gardener' Jackie Healy who has combined a long interest in design, and the propagation of plants alongside a strong interest in the forms, colours and scents of plants to create a living, sculptural composition.
Greenfields continues to support the NGS.
