Following the restoration of their Georgian hall, the clients wanted to create a garden that captured the romance of the place.
This included formal gardens imagined as they were for the Dowager who’d once lived there and productive areas as suitable for domestic staff of bygone times.
Creating a romantic country garden that includes seating areas, a woodland walk, a kitchen garden, a new garage, the reinstatement of a carriage drive and walks across the surrounding fields provided some unique challenges.
These included the practicalities of how best to position a garage within the site and where to accommodate such quirks as a public right of way across the garden!
The clients have implemented the areas closest to the house so far – using my designs to guide how they’ve laid out the spaces and then planting and commissioning items such as the gates themselves.
