Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden, Norfolk, England, is a registered charity, comprising 131 acres of ancient woodland, woodland garden and water garden and including South Walsham inner Broad. Within the garden is an ancient fishpond, a 950-year-old oak, over 95 recorded species of birds, a private broad, many species of wild and cultivated plants the most spectacular being the Candelabra primulas – around 50,000 flower during the last two weeks in May and the first two weeks in June. A network of dykes criss-cross the garden and are all cleared by hand each winter using a traditional tool called a chrome. Other traditional practices used within the garden are coppicing and leaf harvesting to create a natural fertiliser. The garden is one hundred percent organically managed. The late 1990s saw the return of Otters to the garden and broad. ()
