What an unusual find,very close to Corbridge and on a site above The Devil's Water river. A short uphill walk from the car park. Informative, quirky and artistic. Lots about plants used for culinary, medical and spiritual purposes from different countries and traditions. Numerous sculptures including a Spirit Henge and a Tranquility Pond. There's a Minotaur Maze without hedges so its not scary, and unusual Aeolian tubes which emit an eerie sound when the wind blows.A wild and natural feel, rocky paths or paths cut through long grass or narrow earth paths between herb beds. Chess, croquet and a small outdoor play area and musical instruments for children, who need to be closely supervised becauseof the natureof some of the plants. A small reception hut selling a variety of books, natural cosmetics , herbal teas etc. A few drinks and the odd snack available. I can recommend the Spicy Cacao drink. Cost £8 for adults £4 for children.I think small children are free. There is one spacious toilet on the site. Not really accessible for physically disabled people I would think. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

An incredibly peaceful environment, I could have easily spent hours there however I only stumbled across this garden 40 minutes before it closed. I left there feeling at peace while also considerably more knowledgeable on our planet’s plants and their uses. I also purchased a traditional plant medicine for my hay fever which I’m excited to try out. I’ll be back as soon as I can, and will be recommending it to all of my friends.

A lovely visit, the sun was shining which added to our sauntering and ambling around for a few hours. It didn't seem very big when we arrived but the space meanders in lots of directions. The tranquil pond is definitely worth sitting by, beautiful views and very peaceful. Lovely volunteers who were more than keen to talk about the history of the place, and the ongoing work. Herbs in abundance, the lemon balm especially and the smells were just gorgeous. Lots of quirky statues and themed areas. No tearoom, or cafe on site. A great visit, thank you.

An absolute gem. Beautiful, quirky, informative - I can't remember when I last enjoyed a garden visit so much, and I went away with my head buzzing with ideas for my own garden. The staff were lovely too: I mentioned that I'd been hoping to find a horse-radish root on the plant stall, but there wasn't one - so they dug one up for me!

What a delightful place. We met Elaine one of the original founders. We surrendered into the healing magical space with all our senses. Uplifting, rejuvenating, and peaceful. We picked up some herbal remedies and the book Grow Your Own Physic Garden Some parts are a bit shabby… overlook them and connect with the plants and rich energy of this place and allow it to touch your heart and soul. Highly recommended
