1972ff restored Hazelbury Manor, Box, and greatly added to the gardens created for GJ Kidston after 1920; garden design with wife Dinny; Juliette Pollard: They initially replanted the herbaceous borders around the main lawn - setting these out as a series of colour themed beds in yellows, oranges, and reds through to purples , mauves and blues. Behind these beds they created a series of interconnecting garden 'rooms', each with a different theme; a foliage garden, a silver garden, a knot garden with a topiary chess pieces and a rose garden all framed by new yew hedge planting used to frame the 'rooms' and create vistas throughout the garden. A laburnum tunnel was also added and the original garden pavilions restored and modified to allow views the pig and across the garden. The main lawn / garden was further enhanced by the addition of a large reflective pool and fountains set against a 'stage set ' of yew hedges which provided a magnificent focal point at the end of the sunken lawn. (Sadly the pond was filled in by the current owners who at the time of purchasing the property from my parents had small children.) Having restored the main garden, my parents went on to replant the walled garden to the side of the property; to make significant improvements to the entrance to the house where they created a 'cottage garden' with raised beds and a series of stepped terraces; and to create a formal 'potager' garden which was linked to the side of the house by a woodland garden.
