This garden is carefully designed around the central element:  a stylised staircase of water – a stream flowing through a succession of raised pools.

Formal box hedges enclose a myriad of plants. Old roses mixed with modern ones, namely the products of the esteemed Belgian breeder Louis Lens, freely mingle with perennials, ferns and grasses.  A distinctive environment, stamped throughout with good taste and meticulous planting.
