Description of Garden

Designer: Monique Paice

A very intensively planted three-acre garden surrounding an early 18th century Cotswold stone manor house. There are a number of garden rooms featuring an abundance of unusual plants in exciting colour, shape textural combinations. Many tender plants used in both the borders and the exuberantly planted containers - ranging from large lead cisterns to giant terracotta vases. A variety of small water features, interesting topiary, mainly of Buxus sempervirens catch the eye. A unique shade house inspired from a visit to Canada is an interesting feature. This is a plantsman's paradise.

History of Garden

The garden was created over a 20 year time frame by the former owners, Mr & Mrs R Paice
