| Description of Garden | Designer:
Marylyn Abbott |
||
| These gardens are surrounded by a neo-classical park studded with follies, monuments and birdcages. The restored lake gives a perfect backdrop to one of the most spectacular garden creations this century. The Nymphaeum, a grand Water Garden, and water again in an Islamic inspired Paradise Garden, and a 190 metre long garden of the Five Bridges. Four parterres and a Green Theatre all add to the beauty of this critically acclaimed garden, indeed BBC Gardeners' World were here to make their first special on just one garden and its gardener. These gardens have been painstakingly restored to reflect the beauty of their 18th century origins. The uniquely coloured plant combinations of the formal gardens are complemented by the decorative potagers and their ornamental fruit cages, making an exciting architectural statement within the original walls. |
