A Garden Party
By Linda Tancs
England’s Great Dixter House and Gardens in Northiam is a gardener’s delight. The manor, built for Richard Wakehurst, retains its medieval charm and characteristics and is one of the longest surviving timber-framed halls in the country. A stunning feature of the gardens is that they follow the exterior of the house. The fluid design includes yew topiary, meadows, mixed borders, a rectangled wall garden, the sunk garden, the high garden (typical of Edwardian times), an exotic (tropical) garden and the long border (with its high season from mid-June to mid-August). Take your cues from an expertly designed English garden. The site offers instruction on everything from vegetable planting to exotic gardening and planting techniques.
