This re-energised formal garden connects the beautifully ornate architectural detail of an historic house to its surrounding parkland.

A formal garden

Completed in 2018, this simple, uncomplicated garden layout aligns with the key features of the house behind.

A formal lily pond with a bespoke Lulworth water feature forms the centrepiece. Inspired by hanging tapestries, two elongated rectangular panels on either side of the pool are planted with a spine of yew hedge in the form of interconnected swirls. This provides a backdrop to repeating combinations of shrub roses, herbaceous plants and grasses.

The lawns are punctuated with pleached hornbeam cubes, pyramid yew and large bespoke iron rose columns.
