A garden seen through the kitchen window Step beyond the gates of Bowling Green House and enter a garden shaped by instinct and affection rather than formality. Here, a quiet canal winds beneath weeping ash branches, edged with native reeds and waterlilies, a reflective ribbon at the heart of David C. H. and Pat Austin’s private garden. This is not a showpiece garden but one alive with movement and memory. Foxgloves lean into fennel, roses thread through trees and sculptures by Pat Austin add unexpected charm and humour. Every corner tells a story, inviting you to pause and feel the calm. With over thirty-five varieties of roses carefully woven through the borders, this garden was the birthplace of rose breeding that would go on to shape gardens around the world. Now open to visitors on weekends through until August, this garden offers a peaceful retreat, a place to be experienced as much as admired.
