On the 1st and third Sundays in July, August and September from 2-5.
No bridge tolls! (no teas..try Tintern for that and a badly ruined abbey). It’s looking good, the rambler roses are out, the campanulas are out, the globes are out – come and say hello. It will rain, of course.. and there will be weeds. (promise) Xxxx
“The question to ask is, ‘what is here that is true, that is underneath the superficial things? What is here that matters?”
Autobiography of a Garden is about the garden making, Pat’s life, the history of the land, the ideas, the art, the plants and the devouring deer.
But to dream, and perhaps more importantly, to innovate, we should inspire ourselves globally:
“Have issue. You were so adamant that you wouldn’t go to Chelsea again. Discuss, please”.
. And now, knowing we won’t live forever, we’re thinking about what will happen to the house and garden when we die.
The garden is actually interestingly old fashioned. It’s not just the bedding but the relentless inclusion of every garden cliché, however brilliantly executed.
I don’t imagine you expected the world of horticulture and gardens to escape the decolonising agenda. But if you have concerns …

Hooray! I can’t wait to see the Veddw again.
Excellent. Hope it lives up to your hopes. Xx
Congratulations on this project — the globes are a huge success.
Thanks! We have another trick coming….it needs a focal point, perhaps? Hope you’ll like that too when it arrives. Xxxxx
Can’t wait to see the globes up close – they look great ( despite your apprehensions Anne) and Im sure they reflect the surrounding glory
Well, we love them, so that counts for a lot. Hope you will too. Xxx
