Plenty - if you just happen to be the magical Temple Guiting in Gloucestershire! Arguably one the finest Grade 1 listed Tudor homes in the Cotswolds, this divine home has just received a garden 'makeover' by the wonderful English Landscape Designer Jinny Blom.
Trained originally as Transpersonal Psychologist and Psychotherapist, Jinny worked extensively with deeply psychologically damaged people. However a 'life changing event - like a river bursting its banks' in 1996, caused a drastic career change & altered her course into garden design. Now, eleven years later, Jinny's background still influences her work. In her view gardens have an uplifting effect on people, architecture and the wider landscape.
Understated, yet incredibly elegant, this garden blends effortlessly with a house that has occupied these 14 acres since the 15th century.

The sight of those gardens certainly had an uplifting effect on me! They reminded me of that lovely book The Secret Garden - so many different rooms within one garden and so many places to explore. And I just adore the wide, wide windowsills in the house, and the cosy sitting room. Lovely.

Beautiful!!! I am reading World Without End- which goes along with Pillars of the Earth. It's all about church building so I'm mildly obsessed with the ancient structures. Just amazing how well kept the grounds are- so impressed! BTW- Pillars is one of my FAVORITE books- a must read if you like a good novel!
