Without Nancy Tennant, Humphrey Waterfield's exquisite
horticultural creations might never have existed. The two of them
were life-long partners and together created 'the most beautiful
small garden in England' at Hill Pasture in Essex and collaborated
on the restoration of the gardens at Le Clos du Peyronnet, Menton,
France. It was Nancy who kept Hill Pasture going during the Second
World War, and this garden and subsequently Le Clos became their
earthly paradise, publicly acclaimed works of art and a consolation
for the loss and trauma of their pasts. The gardens were a
smokescreen for their deepest feelings, but one day, the smoke
would begin to clear and the truth of who and how they really loved
would be plain to see. It wasn't what it appeared to be, at all.
This challenging love story of paradise lost, found and lost again
is set against the backdrop of the 20th century, the traumas of two
world wars, polarised British politics, the changing position of
women in society, and the transformative power of nature's beauty
on the human heart.
