These are in fact allotments utilised by local residents to grow their veg, soft fruit etc, which they tend and harvest accordingly. We spoke to a couple. I had thought that the National Trust must tend the gardens, but it is local people power that makes the gardens looks this good. The house, Sunnycroft, was in fact self-sufficient in terms of garden produce, fruit, veg and also pork, beef etc. This is maybe something like how the gardens might have appeared in the heyday of Sunnycroft.
