Ernest said they have spent two years trying to find an organisation willing to take on the upkeep of the gardens.
“There’s been a great deal of interest, but at the end of the day none of them could come up with help,” he said.
The family planned to keep the garden and let it return to nature, encouraging wading birds and kingfishers which frequently can be seen at Gooderstone.
The site has been popular with walkers, artists and photographers and comments online, external also show that it has been used by the community to celebrate birthdays and weddings.
Visit Norfolk said it was a “a sad yet incredibly proud moment” for Coral and Ernest to reflect on what they had created.
