I am a great believer in fate, and as such I know that it was always my destiny to end up at Green Island.
Like my farmer father, I know that we are only on this earth for a short time and can only be considered as guardians of the land.
Over the last twenty years I have been lucky enough to be able to indulge my passion for my love of plants as well as create the garden of my dreams, and it gives me enormous pleasure and satisfaction now to be able to share it with others.
Whether you are a plantaholic, a lover of wildlife, an avid birdwatcher, a student of horticulture or garden design, all or none of the above, I hope that your experience of Green Island leaves you feeling enriched.

Green Island Gardens are private gardens, open for the public to visit in Ardleigh near Colchester, Essex.
Professionally designed by its owner Fiona Edmond, Green Island Gardens are laid out as a series of structured gardens displaying a huge range of unusual trees, shrubs, perennials, and bulbs - 'A Plantsmans Paradise'.
Surely one of the best gardens open to visit in Essex.
Recommended in Great British Gardens 2019 and Essex Days Out.
These were laid out in 1997 after much of the old orchard originally of Ardleigh Park was cleared.
