Margery Fish’s iconic cottage garden at East Lambrook Manor

“In the development of gardening in the second half of the twentieth century no garden has yet had greater effect.” John Sales, National Trust

East Lambrook Manor Gardens is the iconic and quintessentially English cottage garden created by the celebrated 20th-century plantswoman and gardening writer Margery Fish. It was here that she developed her own style of gardening, combining old-fashioned and contemporary plants in a relaxed and informal manner to create a garden of immense beauty and charm.
