In Search of the Garden
On a misty autumn day last year, I finally found what I’d been looking for, a secret walled garden.
The garden hadn't been a real garden since 1930. Built in Napoleonic times, the walled garden was a tangle of weeds and a home for ghosts of ladies in white dresses from more serene times.
Sitting in a valley, partly surrounded by a wood of ancient russet trees, it was begging to be returned to its former glory.
And, that’s what we are doing, my team and I are bringing the garden back to life. We are growing cottage garden flowers for cutting.
Our traditional, eco friendly methods work in harmony with the English countryside to produce beautiful, gloriously scented flowers, accessible to all.
They will not be sad, scentless and wrapped in cellophane. They will not have flown from the four corners of the world or hauled in lorries with great refrigeration units from Holland.

The team
I have a fantastic team of creative and committed gardeners. Head gardener, Alastair Gunn trained at Wisley and New York Botanical Gardens. He also worked as head gardener at the Gitanjali garden (USA) which was awarded the 2008 Palladio Award for Exterior Spaces under his direction.
I am also delighted to have Anne Bell working with me, a gold medal Chelsea flower arranger and florist.
Very importantly we have a great little helper, in the form of my 8 year old daughter Poppy, who has already sectioned off her corner of our wonderful walled garden.
Why this business
I remember halcyon summer days with the scent of sweet peas floating in the warm afternoon air and the soft drone of bumble bees gently soothing me, as I sat in an old striped deck chair on my Uncle Bill’s lawn. It is such a lovely memory for me.... that it gave me the name of the business and inspires me to make our flowers glorious too.
