‘Bibury’

Designed and built in 1929 by famous English architect, Professor Leslie Wilkinson, Bibury is one of the finest and earliest examples of his famous domestic Mediterranean architectural style.

Hunstone Garden Artistry has since restored the garden to a Mediterranean theme. As he proudly suggests, there are no rules in a Mediterranean garden design;

“The aim of any of my designs, is to compliment and coincide with the architectural structure. The garden should reflect the home, as the home should reflect the garden”.

“Montresor”

French for ‘My Treasure’, Montresor delivers all that a good garden should. The journey takes you on a mystery tour of discovery and salvation. With reflections of ‘The Magic, Far Away Tree’, by Enid Blyton, Montresor is an enchanting garden for children to be lost and found in.

“One of my achievements at Montresor was to open the view from inside the home. Instead of the feeling of containment, I was able to deliver a sweeping vista without loss of privacy, whilst creating an interest of colour and texture simultaneously….”

“There’s a famous quote from Capability Brown that is also relevant to us in which he compared the structure of a garden to the structure of a sentence: “there I make a comma, and there, where a more decided turn is proper, I make a colon; at another part, where an interruption is desirable to break the view, a parenthesis; now a full stop, and then I begin another subject”. If a gardener can think like that about the structure of his work then we, who teach punctuation, can visualise the stages of our lessons and create clear marking points between them.”
