Kirky Cottage Open Garden 2026

Mrs Virginia Fairfax is generously opening her delightful, gravel based garden in support of HospiceCare North Northumberland. Ginny is delighted to share her design and planting schemes and colours with you in the garden she has designed and created from nothing over the last 10 years or so.

Kirky Cottage is situated amongst the beautiful border hills in the Bowmont Valley and the garden has been designed to flourish in the rugged climate of the Borders. There are fragrant old roses side by side with violas, salvias, foxgloves, larkspurs, peonies and many new plants as the garden constantly changes and evolves to create an evermore delightful cottage garden.
