High and Wild in the Peak District
BALI National Landscapes Award winning garden»
A garden design for a steep garden dramatic hillside location in the Peak District. Plants are constantly exposed to high winds and as the bedrock lurks near the surface they have little soil in which to root. Jacquetta’s design overcame these challenges and this garden design recently (2011) won Jacquetta the Principal National Landscape Excellence Award from BALI.
