Garden Museum

This small museum is set right in the centre of London, although
it doesn't have the grandeur of Kew Gardens it is the resting place
of two historically recognised plant hunters, collectors and gardeners.
This provided the inspiration for the garden.

The actual garden combines two very different styles of gardening.
The ornate where we can see the small box hedge and the topiary design.
This is a very controlled way of gardening where evergreen planting is used and
stylised using a range of clipping tools.

The other is the growth of herbaceous and perennial.
This is my personal preference in gardening and relies more on the seasons
and the natural diversity and colouring of planting.
