At this magical moment of the year as winter meets spring, we conjured the atmosphere of a rambling Italianate garden on an early spring day, using ceramic and terracotta props, fresh flowering bulbs, spindly branches of delicate blossom, dried grasses and seedpods from the winter garden.

We’ve been lucky to experience some beautiful misty June mornings at the garden this year.

On arriving early one morning we were greeted by a sea of Dutch iris and their statuesque bearded neighbours rising from the bed in the centre of the garden. The air was swirling with moisture, dripping spiders’ webs trailing between each pale blue, mustard and mauve petalled head.
