When interior designer Bunny Williams first found her house in north-western Connecticut, there was no garden. Just lawn stretching from the house; a monoculture punctuated by beautiful old trees standing like sentinels. But she saw something else entirely.
'I really bought the house because I wanted to create a garden,' she says. At the time, she knew little about gardens. Nothing about design principles, planting schemes or the architecture of outdoor rooms. 'I just knew that I loved getting my hands in the dirt, I loved flowers, and I loved vegetables.'
