​When we bought this house in 1987, the garden was about 100 feet long and 20 feet wide. After a few years we bough the back half of the two gardens next door (on the right, as you're looking at the picture above. This meant that the garden opened out into a square which was unexpected and full of potential. In 1999 a man called Kip redesigned the garden and, although I didn't like his planting, the garden's design was very inspiring. At about the same time I became Publishing Director of The English Garden, which meant I had access to lots of helpful advice and ideas! Leaving this garden in 2013 was heartbreaking.
