Keppel Croft Farm and Gardens
Welcome to Keppel Croft Farm and Gardens. We (Bill and Dawn Loney) started gardening as a hobby when we came home for the summers from our jobs in the Canadian Arctic. In 1986 we moved back to Keppel Croft and have been gardening ever since. Our extensive stroll gardens are ever expanding and are definitely a work in progress. We have a variety of gardens linked by paths. There are several rockeries, xeriscape gardens, pebble borders, ponds, a Zen garden, a shade garden, a thyme and lavender garden, trough gardens with alpines, and a selection of unusual trees and shrubs.
