Cregneash is a living folk village on the Isle of Man. Originally a small crofting community, the cottages, and land were acquired by Manx National Heritage to preserve the way of life of 19th and early 20th century farmers and village folk. You can walk into the village, visit the cottages, and learn more about cottage industry and crafts. You can also wander through the gardens that surround the cottages. Here you'll find a variety of soft-fruit, flowers, vegetables, wildflowers, and medicinal herbs.

In this video, I chat with Karen Griffiths, head gardener at Cregneash about what the gardens preserve of the past. A time when people had to grow their own vegetables, medicine, and household products. Remnants of these days are still alive and thriving with every ancient seed that gets uncovered and begins to grow.
