MY GARDEN IN WEST SUSSEX
 
hen my wife and I first came to live here, there were two attached cottages in a remote and lovely part of West Sussex so we started with an enviable advantage: a fantastic position. In due course the cottages were converted into one and enlarged.. This is when the garden was created in its present form.. Whilst it has evolved over time it quickly became
 
established and has been featured in many magazines throughout the world and on television.
 
   
All gardening is landscape painting
