ANY TIPS FOR LARGE-GARDEN DESIGN?

Adam: “Decide the overall theme and create a master plan. Make a wish list then consider practicalities such as budget and soil conditions, and scale back as needed.”

YOUR LOVE OF VINTAGE CAME FROM?

“My parents. As a kid, we’d go on trips to antique stores, op shops, even the dump. When I was seven, they dragged me around bric-a-brac markets in France. I loved it.”
