Dewstow Grottoes

We found these utterly magical. We were constantly seduced by the cool shade; the sudden dancing shafts of sunlight from skylights; the incredible jungle greens of the ferns and mosses and the constant soothing sound of water.

There are several different grottoes at Dewstow, all connected with tunnels. Some are shady and cave-like…

But even if I don’t manage to acquire a grotto of my own, I can certainly take inspiration from Dewstow and plant more ferns.
