In keeping with the estate’s traditional English Tudor style 10,000 sq. ft. of gardens were designed. The English Gardens are characterized by regular, geometric planting patterns and pathways, with antique decorative accessories heightening their old-world feel. Special nooks and hideaways, coupled with the sound of cascading water in fountains, create a serene environment, while delicate lighting in planter boxes makes the garden perfect for early evening strolls.
Integrating the house with the garden. For the first time in garden design history, Arts and Crafts integrated the house with the garden. Design features in the house were reflected in the garden and vice versa.The Arts and Crafts style, especially in the gardens of Gertrude Jekyll and Edwin Lutyens, who were at the forefront of the movement in the late 19th century and early 20th century in England, is characterized by the use of traditional materials and working methods that lead to an organic completeness of the design.
The garden path and beds that would reduce mowing. Curly cues on wishing well, could be a pretty trellis or fountain addition. Color of the rocks on house.
I'd never want to leave! This space has year round interest; from the metal sculpture on the pot to the pots of boxwood and the architecture of the greenhouse. The views from inside the house must be just a lovely as from without.
