Havoc Hall, Yorkshire; in harmony with nature

At the southern end of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, in the Howardian Hills AONB, Havoc Hall sits in a four acre plot at the edge of the village of Oswaldkirk. David and Maggie Lis bought the 1930’s house in 2008 and have spent the last 12 years creating a spectacular garden from the blank canvas of lawn and paddocks that they inherited. Enjoy a wonderful private tour of the garden with David.

[@beckyscheller9358]

Wow great gardens. Wonderful work in11 years. Than you for showing.

[@Iloathsnow]

One of my absolute favorites! A wonderful combination of formal and more wild plantings and yes, the woodland walk is fantastic. An absolute dream and very hard to believe it is such a young garden! Thank you for sharing.

[@elainesarchet3979]

Great video and thank you for sharing your beautiful garden. What an achievement!

[@iamme548]

Breathe taking!!! This is by far one of the most balanced and pulled together gardens. In my humble opinion. If I could have any garden it would be a duplicate of this space.

[@wheresmiranda3635]

A gorgeous garden wrapped in a gorgeous video and music :-)

[@sallycarr6983]

What an inspiring garden,I love the fact that it is all created from just lawns and paddocks.I’m creating a garden from fields too so it’s great to see what can be achieved in this small amount of time,fantastic! Everything is so balanced and well thought out and the planting is really beautiful.Well done to the owners, what an amazing achievement.My favourite video of the series too.

[@jsmiles1991]

This is, by far, my favorite garden featured here. It's stunning and dreamy!

[@stuartwilsdon9683]

A truly beautiful and outstanding garden. I love the ‘architecture’ you’ve created, the flow and contrast of spaces and the variety of planting and limitation of colour which is very much to my taste. It’s clearly a labour of love. 😊

Thank you for sharing your garden through this movie. It is a real pleasure to see so many beautiful relationships. Proportions in width as in height, Balanced out with plants. Wonderful to see how you have taken the space, that this literally gives the opportunity to give the plants enough space to come into their own. Thank you Sir, from The Netherlands Herma

Perfect👍😀🌺

[@zacmitty7851]

You must have worked very hard to have created this in such a relatively short period of time, my congratulations. Your box are very good and the overall symmetry also. Perhaps you might consider introducing a few more architectural items, tree fern, bananas or palms in sheltered nooks?

[@AnjaHuebel1]

Very nice! Do you have any bird feeders and nest boxes?

[@cjrodgers3922]

The 8 pyramid shape trees at the front. What are the called ?
