The Garden House

Buckland Monochorum, Yelverton, Devon

Described by Toby Buckland as ‘a plantsman’s paradise’ the 10 acre garden includes varied planting styles including the Summer Garden, which is planted in a new naturalistic style. Sweeping banks of grasses and plants that ebb and flow as if they happened by accident are planned, divided, maintained and ruthlessly managed. It is a blend of shoulder high grasses and perennials that tempt every visitor to ‘swoosh’ through them.

In a recent edition of BBC’s Gardeners’ World Carol Kline visted ‘The Garden House’, and extolled the wonderful use of blue in the garden.  The RHS magazine ‘The Garden’, also featured a piece urging us to “enjoy these exquisite gardens”.
