‘The colours that appear on the landscape in autumn and, during winter; the orange glow of the branches in the avenue of small-leaved limes’
On the terrace, a long rill ends in a pool, with a slate sphere water feature created by sculptor James Parker at its centre.
The ornamental pool sits at the centre of a grid of beds inspired by Piet Oudolf’s prairie-style planting.
Pumped water from the long rill splashes into a trough.
A moon gate leads the eye across the swimming pond to a copper sycamore.
Beyond the swimming pond is the Japanesestyle garden, with steps leading up to the avenue of Tilia cordata ‘Winter Orange’.
Miscanthus sinensis ‘Gracillimus’ is a compact deciduous grass that’s topped with silvery, silky spikelets in autumn.
