The Orchard

The Orchard, which was added as part of the recent rethinking and reimagining that we have undergone, has become our favorite artistic proposition. Working with Charlie Marder’s nursery and design group we decided to enhance our sourcing of fruit trees with a root-frame of soldier coursed brick reclaimed brick from the north of England. The effect has been to understand the orchard as a place of proportion and beauty throughout the year. We find our guests and visitors eager to walk the spaces that wind in and among the trees just to the west of our roses and tea-house to see and feel the essences that we have aspired to create.
