Editorial

Over the years there have been articles in a number of magazines and newspapers about my work. One year, we led a tour of gardens in Holland, and I also enjoyed talking about gardens in a series on the radio.

Talking and writing about gardens with friends that have gardening and garden design as a passion is so rewarding! The layout and design of a garden is so bound in with the love of plants and architecture, and the design of our houses and our enjoyment and the fulfilment we get from them. I very much enjoy being involved in the design of houses and rooms, and how gardens are just more rooms of any house.

Cottage modest, new estate house, town house, or out in the country small, or out in the country large, the challenge is always the same. Good design and style, or bad design and ugly, and the ability to talk about taste and beauty in a detached and wide ranging way, is so all important.
