Garden Inspiration: Cheshire, England

by |

Since old man winter has his grip tight on the throat of the Midwest I want to continue with the theme of gardens I have visited that inspired me over the years.  This garden is a private residence that I was very fortunate to visit while studying in Northwest, England.  Cheshire is really know for its medieval wall and Tudor architecture – well, this garden is a far stretch from traditional England with the garden’s modern architecture, contemporary sculpture, extensive block plantings, & and use of bold colors(mainly chartreuse and burgundy)  .  When I visited the garden it was still a relatively young garden, it terms of English gardens so I am very excited to one day visit again.  I hope these photos help to warm your creative spirit on a cold winter day.

  2. Deborah- I’m not sure how I missed your comment- honestly, I am not use to anyone commenting…..It is such a well laid out garden with hedges, valleys, and structures. I really want to get back and see how it has matured over the past ten years. The house has been in a few architectural mags. I will have dig up some links……

    Thank you for commenting!
