The rill, which runs right through the walled garden of this stunning outdoor space, gives the space a sense of order. In the bed at the end, an abundance of lime-green Alchemilla mollis bloom from June to September.
1/7 Rill
The conservatory is by Westbury Conservatories
2/7 Bright flowers
Fiery-red Helenium 'Moerheim Beauty' makes a bold contrast to a border of lime-green Euphorbia seguieriana and purple aromatic Nepeta 'Six Hills Giant'.
3/7 Structured borders
Allium giganteum gives structure to the garden borders, while Sedum 'Purple Emperor' and daisy-like Anthemis 'E C Buxton' add interest at a lower level.
4/7 Geranium
The perennial Geranium 'Rozanne' provides ground cover from early September.
5/7 Grasses
Compact Stipa tenuissima helps to link the garden with wild grasses in the meadow beyond.
6/7 Yew trees
Set in a chequerboard pattern, yew squares give sharp formality to the walled garden. Each corner is planted with Catalpa bignonioides 'Aurea'.
7/7 Meadow
The wrought-iron screen provides security yet ensures an open view from the back of the house to the meadow.
