This North Cornwall garden surrounds an 1827 house that is shielded from the road by a row of 250-year-old sugar maples. It has been evolving for about fourteen years and has two long beds, planted for drama and height with perennials, grasses, and annuals. There is also a small kitchen garden, a boxwood parterre, a formal arrangement of weeping cherry trees, a long water rill bordered on one side by a hornbeam wall, and a bird house village set in a glade of giant petasitis.
