Helen Maxwell, Carmarthenshire
“I’ve dug out thousands of stones and built 90 per cent of the stone walls. I don’t think there’s an area I haven’t dug!”
Helen Maxwell’s garden in rural Carmarthenshire surrounds the house that her husband (who’s an architect) designed. They moved to this large site in 2005, but Helen wasn’t able to start creating her garden until 2012, once the main construction work was complete.
The garden sits in two acres of land surrounding the house, with the rest of the site left to nature. Helen takes a natural approach to all of the garden, with plants allowed to self-seed. She also has a real passion for wildlife.
