Imaginative topiary at Bourton House

Imaginative topiary at Bourton House

Bourton House Garden has lots of imaginative topiary in box and yew, including the parterre as illustrated.  There is also a knot garden based on an ancient Buddhist symbol with ivy arbours at each end, making a tranquil green space for reflection.  Buttresses of box interspersed with large pots of white argyranthemums face a topiary walk comprised of classic ball, spiral and cone designs.  Low ‘cloud pruned’ box floats between a lawn and an old stone wall.  Tall yew hedges bordering the White Garden are topped with ‘ogee’ arches; a shape that is echoed elsewhere in the garden in metalwork and trellis.

Bourton House Garden is open Tuesday to Friday until end of October from 10am to 5pm.

We are now closed until
