Selling a house is always traumatic. A few months ago a friend sold the home they had lived in for many years. Before the opportunity had passed I thought I should ask Brigid to photograph it. As it turns out the new owners love the garden so much they have called me to help them out. So really it hasn’t turned out so badly after all. There is such a small window of opportunity with gardens. The plants aren’t established enough when the contractors leave to take photographs so we have to wait for at least three or four years before it’s worthwhile. When you go to visit and see the progress, sometimes the garden doesn’t resemble what you put together at all and it’s so disappointing. Anyway here it is, this one is a beauty.
