The original Cottage Garden was created through the guidance of Rosemary Verey who was a renowned plantswoman at the
time and known for her distinctive approach of soft borders and high key colour arrangements.
The garden space emphasises nature and the country style with a sense of the Cotswolds.
The oak summer house made from local oak has the appearance of growing out of the soil, in much the same way as the
Cotswold villages are perceived, having been built from the Cotswold stone fashioned direct from the earth.
Within the summer house is placed a wooden seat, again with connections to natural materials formed through human design.
The lawn winds its route along the garden, creating a sense of unfolding mystery to adjoining gardens yet to be experienced.
