Horticultural Lecture Series: Malverleys, Making and Maintaining an English Flower Garden
- Virtual
Malverleys is home to an English Flower Garden that has been created and developed over the last 10 years by head gardener Matthew Reese, with the owners. Its narrative is influenced by the writings and gardens of Christopher Lloyd, Vita Sackville-West and William Robinson. Located in Hampshire, Maverleys’ classical design features complex and dynamic planting, with York stone paths and yew hedging forming a framework of garden rooms, and deep borders home to mixed plantings. Highlights include color-themed gardens, a white garden, hot garden and a cool garden, as well as more typical mixed-palette plantings. Malverleys’ dynamic plantings, evolving annually, have received considerable acclaim over the past few years.
