Description
Sybil standing with Scruff, next to a scarecrow at the site for Sybil's Garden. Summerhouse roof visible over the hedge.
Following Robin's death In 1982, Sybil decided to reduce the size of the Vegetable Garden and the lower section was turned into Sybil's Garden. Sybil based her design on Mrs. Winthrop's garden at Hidcote. A purple Hidcote cordyline was planted in a vase at the centre, " just as in Mrs. Winthrop's garden". (Sybil Spencer)
