Marren is a Mediterranean garden overlooking the sea towards Portland. It is mainly on a 45 degree slope.
The Cartwrights have been there for 27 years. It has been featured on Gardeners World.
It is a combination of formal topiary and unusual shrubs, along with wild flowers and a small copse.
There is a terrace with a living pergola overlooking the sea.
Gale force winds, badgers, squirrels and deer along with heavy clay have all contributed to making it quite a challenge.
It is a magical place.
