'The borders, quiet in May when I first visited, were blazing: echinops, plume poppy, stately spires of delphiniums.' (garden at Misarden Park, near Cirencester, Gloucestershire)

Article Abstract:

The layout of the garden at Misarden Park, near Cirencester, Gloucestershire, has remained almost completely unchanged since the late 17th century, but now carefully incorporates 20th century gardening styles. Two large herbaceous borders surround the house, and the garden also includes a long pergola of roses, a sculpted yew hedge and a kitchen garden. The nursery there specialises in herbaceous perennials.

Downfall of the Rambling Rector

Article Abstract:

Gardeners often find that their pergolas collapse in a strong wind, even if the foundations are very secure. The wood which forms the pergola can rot quite quickly, so it is essential to treat it thoroughly with a preservative. Any repairs should be undertaken with great care, avoiding damage to the roots of existing plants.
