A view of the formal garden at the Villa Cicogna looking over a group of narrow beds surrounded by low box hedges, towards statue and small pond within a hedge.
Gravel path with the first Fern Border on the left and a hedge on the right.
In 1955, the first Fern Border was created against the north facing side of the Duck Run wall. This would later become the site of the canal.
Herbaceous Borders (colour/white) with white seat at end of path and a hedge behind, washing line post to side.
The White Garden was inspired by Kiftsgate in Gloucestershire. Eventually the white planting was extended to both sides of the path.
