Sovereign Housing have taken responsibility for the major lime-based repair of the wall at the left-rear of the Physic Garden.

The walls are not listed but some go back to the 14th century.

The Chairman of the Friends of the Petersfield Physic Garden, Joan Shepley, is very pleased about the work and the approach taken by Sovereign and their contractor Quadribuild.

Instead of demolition and rebuild, they now intend to use steel butresses to preserve it.

Joan talks to Mike Waddington about the project and the cost of running the garden.
