Description
The gardens chosen (most of which are open to the public), cover the wide range of styles flourishing in English garden design today and range from the Prince of Wales’s garden at Highgrove, through Trentham Gardens (a ‘Capability’ Brown landscape imaginatively reworked for the twentieth-century by Piet Oudolf, Tom Stuart-Smith and Dominic Cole), Arabella Lennox-Boyd’s own garden and ‘laboratory for design ideas’ at Gresgarth and Dan Pearson’s Gardener’s Cottage to Christopher Bradley-Hole’s Modernist garden at Crockmore House, Kim Wilkie’s astonishing Orpheus Landform, and Alasdair Ford’s truly original garden of sculptures and poetic inferences at Plaz Metaxu.
