Patricia from Paris and Janet from London met while studying garden design - they became firm friends and gave each other a unique insight into the gardening traditions of their respective countries.

On 8 April 1904 the Entente Cordiale agreements were signed by Britain and France and the garden seeks to celebrate this deeper friendship. This intimate garden mixes elements of a more formal French approach with British informality.

"The garden is a fusion of what is best, what is traditional and what we love most about plants. It is simple, restful and will be strangely familiar to anyone from France or the UK. As in all good friendships you learn to appreciate differences and cherish similarities."
