The quintessential English country garden is defined by a healthy blend between structure and wildness. A playful marriage of sandstone hardscaping with climbing vibes, charming flowers, and unmanicured hedges strikes the perfect balance of a beautiful space that feels actually lived in. Amal and George Clooney's Oxfordshire backyard embodies the look.
A glimpse into the garden of their Oxfordshire country manor, the 17th-century Mill House, reveals a gorgeous interplay between sandstone steps and free-flowing greenery. It captures the English country garden aesthetic with a graceful, heritage feel. Vines climb up the manor walls, euphorbia pops its head over the staircase railing, and pretty pink flowers offer a subtle peek of color.
