BOX OF TRICKS
Pettifers is a masterpiece – a one-and-a-half-acre garden enlarged by the surrounding Oxfordshire countryside that envelops it. It is a country garden, but it is neither traditional nor static. It has taken over three decades to perfect and as many plants have been removed as introduced. This is plantswoman Gina Price’s greatest strength: her willingness to embrace change and try new planting, leaving her free to create a unique garden quite unlike most others.
The garden has good structure and geometry, with a central lawn and two large borders either side. Three Irish yews at the and , the latter with a smaller leaf, but both are resilient and relatively quick growing.
