The fragrant scent of herbs drifting from beds. Lovingly-tended vegetable patches, brimming with colourful produce. Warm glasshouses and vines creeping up brickwork. Our Walled Garden collection takes its inspiration from the most British of settings: the classic enclosed gardens found in the grounds of country estates.
"The collection was inspired by memories of exploring various walled gardens throughout our lives..."
— Roger Biles
“The collection was inspired by memories of exploring various walled gardens throughout our lives, rather than one garden in particular”, explains Roger Biles, Co-founder of True Grace. “However, [Co-founder] Philippa and I have always loved the kitchen garden at Pythouse, which is only down the road from where we live.”
Built in the 18th Century, Pythouse is a classical country house based west of Tisbury in South Wiltshire. The kitchen garden now acts as a thriving restaurant and events venue, with guests encouraged to wander amongst the greenery and immerse themselves in the sensory pleasures of the plants, fruits and vegetables growing there.
The walled garden of some close friends also comes to mind for Roger as a particular favourite. “It was the Victorian ideal of a walled garden – red brick winding paths, an orangerie growing tropical fruits, flourishing vegetable patches and a vast shed smelling of soil and full of tools.”
