Rooster Bridge

Rooster Bridge is the gateway to the Hen House garden borders. Just across the water a dog-path wanders along close to the water race. There are many exciting foliage plants in the garden by the water.

Our original rooster, after who the small bridge was named, is an enduring Moosey legend. He is remembered, but not much missed! In the middle of 2004 a visiting rooster appeared with two hens in tow, liked the gardens, and stayed for a while. The Mark Three Model Moosey rooster is currently in residence, but confined to the chicken run.

The photograph below was taken in the year 1999, shortly after this area of the garden was opened up for development.

And now that I have hens to feed, this bridge is walked over at least twice a day!
