Bourton House Garden, Cotswolds

Best Viewed LARGE on Black: bighugelabs.com/onblack.php?id=3845191130&size=large&...

 

This wonderful small garden is in Bourton-on-the-hill in Gloucestershire, England near Moreton in Marsh. It was recently named Garden of the Year. Its creator is Monique Paice, who generously showed me around in May, 2007, and has a very deft eye for color and plant combinations. It received the prestigious Historic Houses Association/Christie's GARDEN OF THE YEAR award. I liked it so much I went back with my wife in July, 2008.

 

Sadly, I just discovered that it is now open to the public only for pre-booked group tours.
