A traditional English country house style which stands the test of time and makes the perfect backdrop to sweeping herbaceous borders of hollyhocks, delphiniums and old English roses. If the garden is large enough there is the scope to create different areas or ‘rooms’ with secluded areas, dining spaces, arbours and seating areas united with pathways leading from one to another. Different planting schemes can include specific varieties like a rose garden, rock garden, woodland glade and herb parterre.
