Welcome to Gardd cudd.... Rough English translation- Hidden Garden.
Gardd Cudd is about 8 miles inland from Cardigan bay, it is between 800 and 900 feet above the sea, and has views of the Cambrian mountains it has evolved through the toil of Cath my partner and I over the past 20+ years and extends to around an acre. Initially it was a damp field with clumps of soft rush, we worked it a little to create an area for our son Sam to play as a child, but as I was given cuttings and young plants by friends and family, my passion and aspiration grew. Reluctant to spend money we did not have, we never really got into chemical management, only using Miracle gro for small plants and slug pellets to protect the same, but we found the molousicide messy and unpleasant and so have just let things be, which has surprisingly not been at all detrimental, in-fact I believe the reverse to be true my Hostas are fine until Autumn and I have a self seeding colony of Ligularia. To create the numerous beds, we use cardboard and waste paper placed directly onto turf / weeds and then mulch with mowings/ chopped leaves/ wood chip/ plant waste.... well whatever is available. At Gardd cudd I have also created a some quite exciting features using recycled materials, The Creature tower was built using concrete rubble and The Bottle circle was made using empty beer bottles ( I emptied them all myself:) One day I wish to achieve a complete walk around whereby each footstep brings intrigue and ones eyes behold delight. I try to style the garden on an exotic woodland garden with spring and Autumn colour, But I also love Miscanthus and bold swathes of perennials and am inspired by the continental style championed by Piet Ouldolf. Currently Gardd cudd is not open to the public. Apart from special arrangement. If you are seeking a scarified moss free lawn, manicured hedges and regimented Begonias in double dug soil, then you will be sourly disappointed, but here at Gardd cudd we are trying to create something beautiful that I believe it contains a wealth of interest to inspire both the novice and experienced gardener.
