“Stone Lane Gardens is a Gem” - Joe Swift, The Times (garden designer and author)
Stone Lane Gardens is an RHS Partner Garden and holds a National Collection of Birch and Alder. On a hillside on the north-eastern edge of Dartmoor National Park, the Gardens host a beautiful arboretum interlaced by a water garden of shimmering streams, where rare trees are reflected in tranquil ponds. Above the Gardens sit colourful wildflower meadows with footpaths leading up to spectacular viewpoints and down through woodland glades.
