Sir Clough Williams-Ellis
The architect Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, is probably best known for his creation of the 'Italianate' village of Portmeirion on the north-west coast of Wales. A fantasy landscape, visited by hundreds of thousands of people each year ...
Less well-known is Sir Clough's ancestral home and garden at Plas Brondanw. Here, long before he embarked on Portmeirion, Sir Clough created one of the finest 'Arts & Crafts' gardens in Britain.
Kiftsgate Court - Gloucestershire
Ask most gardeners what the name ‘Kiftsgate’ brings to mind and you will probably be told a rose – a very vigorous rose. For ‘Kiftsgate’ is a named cultivar of Rosa filipes, an aggressive but deliciously scented rambling rose, first named at Kiftsgate Court in 1951. However, Kiftsgate is far more than just one rose, it is a remarkable garden, created, developed and maintained by three generations of lady gardeners from the same family.
Heather Muir began work on the garden in 1920, creating a whole series of gardens and borders around the house, within which she paid particular attention to colour.
