The Parterre at Charlecote.

This variation on the Elizabethan knot garden is immaculately maintained,with every box hedge perfectly clipped and the annuals dead headed,in pristine condition.I drooled. I had a dear friend who lived in Massachusetts,but must have had past lives here,around this time because he was attempting to plant out his own parterre in his back yard...

[Patricia Lane Evans]

How beautiful! And so amazingly precise! It reminds me of the pristine gardens that surround Versailles and Chateau Fontainebleau in Paris!

[Judith Johnson]

An amazingly neat garden. Glad I don't have all that box hedging to cut!
