'Making a garden together, in which to live and work, through thick
and thin, fair and foul, is what we like to do best. Everything
else is a sideshow. Since spring 2019 Julian and I have been making
a garden at Ashington Manor Farm, a garden that we think of as our
last principal private escapade, but you never know . . .' Isabel
and Julian Bannerman have made scores of lauded gardens for a host
of famous clients, and three special, much-loved gardens of their
own surrounding the houses which they have restored and lived in
since they married, starting at The Ivy, Chippenham, in 1982; then
Hanham Court, Bristol, in 1993; and Trematon Castle, Cornwall, in
2012. Now as they embark on a new adventure, creating a garden at
their Elizabethan farmhouse in Somerset, Isabel reflects on the
garden they are making and the others they have made as a couple,
about the 'thousand tiny decisions about which we fight like
hooting chimpanzees' and, especially, the fundamentals of what
Julian, Mr B, thinks about the key things that go into making a
garden for living in - a jumble of eating, drinking and sitting
places, fruit cages, vegetable and cutting gardens, pelargoniums in
giant pots, rose arches, tools and sheds, fences, formality and
topiary, pools and meadows, and not least the importance of one's
peripheral vision of how the garden joins on to the landscape.
