Front of the property
La Bolla has a frontage to the (very quiet) road of approximately 100m which we have called 'Zone 1'. This area of land lends itself to creation of a free-flowing hedge. We have planted 38 different species of shrub along this stretch of land, all with their own element of leaf or flower interest.
