Event Details
James is a planthunter and
Tania is a garden designer of worl wide recognition. They have lived in
Spilsbury for 25 years.
The garden at Spilsbury Farm is an intriguing
mixture of formality and wildness. An orchard next to the house leads to
vistas, focused on ancient oak trees, which are lined with clipped hornbeams
blocks and pyramids in long meadow grass. Within this strong framework, Jamie
and Tania seem happy to let nature enjoy a controlled riot. The house is
approached by a lovely gravel garden planted with Perovskia, Euphorbia
myrsinites and Santolina. Borders billow with Eryngiums, Sedums, cardoons, grasses
and roses mingle with meadow grasses. Pots filled with summer annuals
dress the terrace and furnish steps. In September we will also be able to see
Asters, Colourful willows and colchicums.
We are a conservation charity working to protect the county's many historic parks and gardens for future generations.
We work with garden owners and local and national bodies to highlight, protect and encourage the conservation and restoration of designed landscapes, ranging from stately homes to public parks, cottage gardens to cemeteries. Principally funded by over 500 members, we run visits, lectures and events where members can share their interest and knowledge in a sociable atmosphere.
Through its research and recording programme, the Trust undertakes and supports research on sites of historic interest, including sites that the Trust has rediscovered, as well as on other related topics. We share knowledge through our Journal and also seek to inspire the gardeners of the future through imaginative projects with schools.
