Gardening with Colour at Coton Manor

Occupying a hillside position extending down from Coton Manor, a seventeenth-century manor house in Northamptonshire, the 10-acre garden delights plant enthusiasts with its luxuriant borders providing colour and interest throughout the seasons, while all visitors enjoy its charm and tranquil atmosphere. Beyond the garden is a magical 5-acre bluebell wood and exuberant 3-acre wildflower meadow. Owner and hands-on gardener Susie Pasley-Tyler charts how her passion for gardening developed and imparts the knowledge learnt, mistakes made and above all the sheer delight to be gained from this creative and restorative pastime. The author describes in detail how the garden has evolved since she and her husband, Ian, inherited the estate over thirty years ago, and her thinking behind its many and varied sites. Experienced and novice gardeners alike will be encouraged and enlightened by her account of being at the helm of one of the finest gardens in England. Coton Manor Garden was voted winner of the Nation’s Favourite Garden in 2022 by garden visitors in conjunction with the English Garden magazine and the National Gardens Scheme. This beautifully illustrated book shows how it has achieved this coveted status.
