A small medieval period herb and wildflower garden, in a rural setting, to explore and enjoy. Started in 1993 as a joint venture between Longtown Village Pride and the newly formed Discovery Club at Longtown Primary School, Broome's Garden was restored as a focus for rural science projects in the form of a medieval period garden.The garden is now maintained by volunteers, working under the guidance of Longtown Village Projects , and remains available to the school for use as the need arises. This year we have developed a new partnership with English Heritage who now own our site. We will continue to manage and maintain it using volunteers.
