This garden situated near Horam, East Sussex, comprised mainly lawns with no planting or structure except an established Liquidambar and a large American oak. Once the overall shapes were approved, the beds were marked and cut and cultivated to a depth of more than two feet. We incorporated more than fifty cubic metres of compost (with many more in subsequent years) and watched the plants flourish over the following seasons!
Plants in the foreground: Pennisetum alopecuroides, Hemerocallis ‘Gentle Shepherd’. In the distance an avenue of Pyrus calleryana ‘Chanticleer’ links the house to the lower gardens.
