TWO GARDENS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!This two-acre, organic, working walled garden is being lovingly restored by Paul, who is bringing it back to full production with the development and experimentation of the ‘no dig’ method to grow many heritage and new varieties of vegetables. He works single-handed with help once a week from a volunteer and visitors should be aware that they are visiting a space which is continually in progress, where they will have the opportunity to see the season unfold and discuss with Paul the benefits and learning processes of gardening the way he does. Aside from the vegetables, the herbaceous borders are currently being redeveloped to give added colour and interest. Paul and Teri will also open their own private therapy garden, which is a beautiful and contemplative space with serene water features, statuary, stonework and unusual plants.

Airlie was built in the 15th century as a fortified castle. It sits on a promontory high above the Rivers Melgum and Isla. The gorge below is a Site of Special Scientific Interest because it contains rare lichen and wildflowers. The 18th-century walled garden grows fruit, flowers and vegetables and it is intersected by mature yew and box topiary. Within the Castle walls itself, there are two herbaceous borders and a large Kiftsgate rose and climbing wisteria. In large areas of the policies the grass has been left to grow long, and as a consequence of this many varieties of native wild orchid have reappeared. A woodland walk leads down from the Castle and gardens to the River Isla.
