Veddw in The Garden, by Chris Young

This was published in the RHS ‘The Garden’ and written by the then editor, Chris Young, in December 2012. A long time ago. It’s a good piece and when I found it again recently I realised I wanted it up here. I have added more recent photographs to those in the original. Those were by Marianne Majerus, the recent ones are ours. Copyright Marianne Majerus  There are some people who are fortunate…

Veddw House Garden, Devauden, UK Veddw  has been created by garden writer Anne Wareham and garden photographer Charles Hawes. The garden is set in the wonderful countryside of the Welsh border above Tintern. There are two acres of ornamental garden and two acres of woodland. A favourite part with visitors and ourselves is the dramatic reflecting pool. The local landscape of rolling hills is reflected in the sinuous hedges that lead to the pool and provide the perfect backdrop for other planting schemes. Anne has a great interest in the history of the local landscape and has incorporated this into the garden design, in particular a large parterre of grasses in a pattern of box hedges based on the local Tithe Map of 1842. Much of the garden was made on ancient grassland, which has been conserved in many parts of the garden, especially the Meadow.
