The Grove, home and garden of David Hicks.

Wow, this was absolutely beautiful and fascinating! Thank you so much for sharing this garden. I find the eye and vision of David Hicks to be so interesting to see and learn a little bit about. In regards to how he views gardens. It truly is brilliant really, and in the winter no less. Just lovely and I'm so happy to have seen it. Paula

Does anyone know where this estate is? Lovely.

Near Ewelme, where I was brought up.

Was that Rosemary Verey? Excuse me if the spelling is adrift. David Hicks was a masterful designer, great to see this feature about him. And Rosemary was a pretty good designer in her own right. Visited Barnsley House many moons ago, and we bought a few plants from her, I still have some of the box and a Himalayan Lily, ( Cardiocrinum Giganteum) after all those years and a move to another garden. The Himalayan lily is an astonishing plant but you have to wait a few years for each successive flowering and the flowers themselves have a fabulous scent but you’ll need a ladder to reach them, our tallest was over 12ft high.

Verey is all but licking the soles of his shoes. The English class system. So entrenched ! Their speech is as clipped as the box.

Way too much symmetry for me.
