Gorgeous Oxfordshire Gardens

Too gorgeous for words.


I found the original source for both of these English Country House gardens. This is the text for the walled garden above: In the walled ‘secret garden’, Arne designed a cutting garden with a simple grid layout, which lends itself to tulips (such as purple ‘Backpacker’ and maroon ‘Havran’) and other spring bulbs. After flowering, they are lifted to create room for annuals. Read the full article with more photos: Arne Maynard reinvigorates the garden of an Oxfordshire manor house.

This garden has some beautiful pink tulips (I think there might be some other pink flower too), but I'm always blown away by how lovely and interesting a garden in various shades of green can be. So pretty.

UPDATE: I found the original source for this photo and added one more. There is a great article for you to read with many more photos. It's all about a landscape designer who has breathed new life into an English Manor's gardens. Enjoy.

Good Morning,
Thank you for finding the source of the wonderful photos. It is an interesting article. Wonderful that the designer has taken the helm over the past 20 years and that the family can support such a wonderful endeavour to recreate such a wonderful garden.
