Stands and delivers
WALLED gardens have been given over to any number of uses from those originally intended. Some have been turned into rose gardens or beds for cut flowers, whereas others have ended up acting as sheep pens or horse paddocks. At Culham Court, where the 1771 red-brick villa designed by Sir William Chambers and Stiff Lead-better, looks out on a gentle loop of the Thames between Hambleden and Hurley locks, the 18th-century walled garden has been transformed into what feels like a three-dimensional artwork. An evolving one at that, where the natural order of things—weather, other plants, the seasons—creates a picture that is always changing.
The walled garden was designed by Tom Stuart-Smith with a specific aim in mind: to provide).
