The Cherryburn Garden – a place for nature and people to thrive: The garden space at Cherryburn is an accessible space with more seating, wheelchair-friendly and pushchair-friendly paths, ready to welcome you. The autumn garden at Cherryburn has a peaceful stillness to it. We leave many of the longer grasses untouched, providing essential shelter and warmth for insects, frogs, and toads. When mushrooms appear among the grass, we carefully trim around them to encourage spore dispersal and future growth.
