Garden Design
I rearrange the landscape to create within nature a theatrical
stage where we can play or interact with the unfolding celebraion
of nature's beauty, moods and seasons. At their quietest, my
gardens provide a sanctuary for retreat and contemplation.
[Openings of gardens, labyrinths and mazes can be a celebratory
theatrical event with fire and performance. Click here to
see Fire and Elemental Theatre page].
Planting
schemes
I collaborate with my wife who is a knowledgeable
gardener, plantswoman and respected garden writer (Charlie
Ryrie), to source excellent quality plants from specialist
nurseries. We favour a naturalistic style of planting
within a strongly designed layout, using predominantly
hardy perennials, trees and shrubs. Designs range from
relaxed to formal, and include historic themed gardens
using appropriate period plants. We plant to encourage
the natural pest/predator balance in a garden and to
support non-chemical gardening methods.
