Open Gardens 2010

The garden of Lyn and Phil Clarke The Garden of Lyn and Phil Clarke
Set on school road Lyn and Phil have been working on this garden for the past two and a half years and this marks the first time they have opened it to the public. It has certainly been worth the wait to see this brilliantly designed garden. The greatest strength of this garden is the series of vistas that have been created within it so that walking round any corner of this garden is likely to result in you being met with a perfectly constructed scene. The focus of this garden is the riverside terrace, a mostly paved area with beautifully constructed raised beds and an impressive Acer. This can be reached from two directions, either via a zig-zagging woodland path beside the river or across the lawn via a pergola both of which give such a feeling of flow as to give one the impression that a feng-shui expert has been at work. The planting of this garden is already interesting but as yet incomplete also many plants are as yet mature so the development of this already impressive garden over the next few years will be well worth watching.
