"Being only a few minutes from Richmond and the River Thames, ours is an unusual garden in that its original design was based partly on a hotel courtyard in Positano and partly on a garden in Capri."

"It has palm, cypress and olive trees, orange, fig and bay trees. Magnolia grandiflora provide seasonal elegance. The ground level is adorned with terracotta pots filled with pink geraniums, clipped box and agapanthus. Italian sculptures and Mediterranean style furniture complete the picture."

"When Michael took over the management and maintenance of the garden he was faced with a steep leaning curve due to its unusual nature, but one which he embraced and fulfilled with a natural passion. Thanks to his good works, we are able to enjoy the garden to its full potential all year around”"
