A garden more than forty years in the making...and still evolving, featured in Landscape Magazine May 2021.

Also featured in Garden Answers Magazine April 2022

Winner of the R H S/DAILY MAIL NATIONAL GARDEN PRIZE..

out of 3200 entries.....First Prize was awarded at Hampton Court when King Charles handed over the award....

 

"This is a wonderful garden...inspirational, exuberant, confident and brilliantly maintained.

 

A profusion of plants, rare and less rare, artfully arranged in great combinations of form, shape, size and colour.

 

It is a real  lesson in what can be achieved in a comparatively small space on sloping ground and including a narrow lane with high walls on each side. Be sure to spend as much time in the garden as possible, just sitting and contemplating English gardening at its very best"

R H S National Council Member.

The garden has featured on TV and in many leading magazines and journals. It has, until this year, been an  R H S Partnership garden and an NGS garden for 35 years. It is packed with treasures.

Professor David Stevens Chairman on judging for the National Garden Award commented

"The garden is a sophisticated study in both the manipulation of spatial concepts and planting design.Roses are perfectly integrated with. totally rounded planting."

Alan Titchmarsh called the garden "inspirational".

Stephen Lacey said...

"...one of the loveliest shrub rose gardens in Britain"
