Landscape of Dreams

Isabel and Julian Bannerman have been described as "mavericks in the grand manner, touched by genius" (min hogg, world of interiors) and "the Bonnie and Clyde of garden design" (Ruth Guilding, the bible of British taste). their approach to design, while rooted in history and the classical tradition, is fresh, eclectic and surprising. They designed the British 9/11 memorial garden in New York and have also designed gardens for the Prince of Wales at Highgrove and the Castle of Mey, Lord Rothschild at Waddesdon Manor, the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk at Arundel Castle in Sussex and John Paul Getty ii at Wormsley in Buckinghamshire. The garden they made for themselves at Hanham court near bath was acclaimed by gardens illustrated as the top garden of 2009, ahead of Sissinghurst.
