Issue Two - A Borrowed Landscape

‘Borrowed Landscape’ seemed a fitting title for our second issue as so many of the gardens and people we visited allowed their locality to form a distinctive signature to their story. We talk to Fergus Garrett, head gardener at Great Dixter, who takes us on a sensory tour of the world famous Sussex garden. We take to the road to uncover hidden gardens in the Scottish Highlands and Inner Hebrides. Join in conversation with River Cottage chef Gill Meller, to discuss his honest approach to food and writing. We discover the story behind the Japanese Garden created in a secluded valley in Cornwall and explore the beautifully time worn gardens of Rousham, an enduring example of the English Landscape Movements. Where the grounds can be enjoyed in much the same way the 18th century visitor would have explored the paths and lingered over the vistas.
