A Serene White And Green Country Garden in South East England

July 10, 2023
  • Share

Most gardens are filled with vibrant colors and different types of plants. This magical country garden prioritized only two colors to create a serene oasis. Have you ever seen a garden that only features two colors? If you notice in the feature image above the color palette uses different hues of green and white florals. The homeowner wanted a tranquil and spa-like backyard to escape the chaos of every day. The garden is covered in soft white flowers and grasses that convert the environment into a calm palette. Learn more about the beautiful landscape design.

The featured image has a box-lined path leading to the greenhouse. The plants are Allium stipitatum ‘Mount Everest’ and clouds of Hesperis matronalis provide height.

What is an English Country Garden?

A classic English country garden includes a formal carpet bed, an elegant pond and fountain, and a well-filled perennial border. Other garden additions can include statues, pots, and other garden ornaments to balance the design of the garden.

Designing A Modern Country Garden

Modern planting ideas include drifts of perennials and grasses that connect the garden to the property’s landscape. Landscape designers frequently pair their modern designs with a strong linear framework that includes metal-edged beds, and geometric infinity pools.

About The Buckinghamshire Garden

Chrissie’s enormous walled garden in Buckinghamshire incorporates a strict color code of green and white limiting her plant option. Most of the garden has acanthus and Hydrangea arborescens ‘Annabelle’ (also known as smooth hydrangea), as well as silvery-white Allium stipitatum ‘Mount Everest’ and fresh daisy-like marguerites. To achieve the desired look, only white phlox, valerian, and sedum plants were used!

Nick oversaw the renovation of the walled garden, working closely with their gardener Phil and landscape architect Robert Myers, while Chrissie concentrated on the pool house area. Robert created the overall arrangement of the garden, including the use of a high hornbeam hedge to separate the two spaces.

The English Greenhouse

And what’s a garden without a greenhouse? Chrissie and Nick built a greenhouse to grow their fresh tomatoes and sweet chilies. Their greenhouse is one of the very few places on their property that are growing plants that aren’t green or white. The pop of red creates a beautiful contrast to the green plants.

Path To the Poolhouse

Even the walk to the pool has an enchanting view. The planting on either side of the path to the pool house is framed by apple trees and nepeta. You can even spot a pop of blue from the nepeta plants.

Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tou Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tour of the rental house we had in Edgartown on MV this summer. A new build about 5 minutes from the center of town. 3500 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and a pool. House bad that beach house or coastal style decor. We were the first to rent it. What do you think? Would you rent thjs? Do you want to see the bedrooms?
It was our 2nd summer on the Vineyard. Next year, we are renting for the month. Same house. 💃🏾 I would love a bit bigger so more people could come but finding good rentals is hard on the Vineyard. Feel very lucky to have spent a magical few weeks in this spot.

Comment YES if you want to see a tour of this Mart Comment YES if you want to see a tour of this Martha's Vineyard house. I rented this house for our two week stay in Martha's Vineyard. A few minutes walk to the center of Edgartown. The house was heaven. We were the first renters to stay in this newly built house.
