Edward is best known for his interior designs and his natural paints, and is a keen architectural historian but he is seriously keen about creating fabulous outdoor spaces too. He explains how they accidentally discovered historic water gardens and reclaimed them. He has used several shades of his paints including Noke Green and Invisible Green plus some blues to lift bridges, seats and wheel barrows. He loves collecting gates and uses them to frame views and plays with scale to add more interest such as adding huge piers to them.

Edward loves yew and topiary and ‘architecture in leaf’ has grown an impressive ‘amphitheatre’ plus huge 5m hornbeam hedges with alcoves in them plus a hornbeam arcade. A dramatic and very impressive garden from in reality a frustrated Landscape Architect who loves ‘mucking around in the garden’!
