Whilst waiting outside the visitor centre at Stafford Castle
today for my family to do the obligatory tour of the displays I
noticed a large green and yellow sign about 30 yards away. It read
"Medieval Herb Garden" and was situated next to the
entrance of what I believed was an overgrown failed relic of the
last decade, created by the Borough Council to add some interest to
the then boring attraction of the Castle.
Curiosity got the better of me, so I
wandered over to take a peek, and to my surprise this once neglected
gravel pit was now a well established and thriving little garden.
.
The once bare borders where stuffed full of plants
and the smell was lovely. Nothing appeared to be overgrown and I got
the distinct impression that someone was putting in a lot of effort
into maintaining it.
What appeared to be the original garden structures
where still intact and had lost that freshly constructed look. I particularly
liked the shady avenue created down the centre of the garden.
And best of all, for the duration of my wander, it
was completely deserted.
