The Court at Holt

A 1920s arts and crafts garden in Wiltshire with some great structural topiary.  This garden had a magical atmosphere and reminded me of the Red House (William Morris's house).  Small paths in local stone made straight lines through different garden rooms and topiary bordered the paths.  Big organic shapes in Taxus and Ilex were called things like dancing bears and drunken monks and added a witty edge. A temple and stone statues reminded me of Italian gardens and Chiswick house but on a tiny scale.

 Cloud pruned Ilex - ouch!
