Mrs�Brown:My� hobby� is� gardening� and� I� like� to�

exchange� ideas� about� gardening� with�anyone� who� is� interested� in� plants� and�nature.� I�was�only�16�when�I�embarked�on�this�hobby�and�since�then�I�have�tried�various�design�styles.�

I�wanted�to�have�a�stylish�garden�and�I� put� great� effort� in� planting� a� formal�garden.� Formal� gardens� essentially�have� their� feet� in� history,� reaching�back�to�the�romantic�designs�of�Persian�dynasties,� and� the� complicated� gardens�of�the�Elizabethans.�This�style�of�garden�employs�both�straight�and�curved� lines,�and� planting� is� generally� symmetrical.�

Intensely� costly� and� time-consuming,� this� type� of� planting� has� less� appeal� to�modern�households.�

So�later�I�decided�to�create�a�Cottage�garden�which�is�much�more�in�step�with�modern�living.�Cottagers�originally�used�their�small�plots�for�growing�vegetables�and� fruit� as� well� as� flowering� plants.� Part� of� this� style� involved� mixing� food�cultivation�with�the�rest�of�the�planting.�And�I�didn’t�like�it.�

That’s� the� reason�why� I� soon�switched� to�Traditional�gardens�which�are�much�more�flexible�and�at�the�same�time�stylish.�Traditional�gardens�take�their�cue�from�stately�homes,�and�are�generally�centred�on�a�lawn.�The�end�result�is�an�amalgam�of�the�last�hundred�years�or�so�of�garden�design.�Well�executed�with�good�balance�and�consideration�for�the�surroundings,�the�traditional�style�is�one�of�the�most�challenging,�and�therefore�rewarding,�ways�to�design�a�garden.�

When�I�look�at�my�garden�now�I�can�see�that�over�the�years�it�has�preserved�elements�of�each�of�its�previous�designs�and�has�acquired�a�style�of�its�own.�But�I� like� it�because� it�has�combined�the�various�styles�to�great�effect.�And�it� is�a�joy�to�see�burgeoning�plants�billowing�from�the�confines�of�a�rigidly�structured�garden.

After�all,�rules�are�made�to�be�broken!
