The Glasshouse Garden

Planting with Purpose

More than 75% of the garden is dedicated to planting. River birch (Betula nigra) and Zelkova serrata trees form a light, delicate canopy. The peeling bark of Betula nigra, in warm peachy tones, complements the pavilion’s tinted panels.

Roses take centre stage, including varieties like ‘Tuscany Superb’, ‘Wild Rover’, and ‘Emma Bridgewater’. They are paired with Iris sibirica ‘Paprikash’, Allium ‘Eros’, Digitalis ‘Sutton’s Apricot’, Papaver ‘Patty’s Plum’, Baptisia ‘Burgundy Blast’, Delphinium x ruysii ‘Pink Sensation’ and Geum ‘Mai Tai’. Geum rivale adds warm sunset tones, some thriving along the rill’s natural edge.

Jo’s bespoke colour palette draws on the idea of “strong beauty”, blending deep reds and pinks with soft peach and apricot—a tribute to feminine strength and resilience.
