John Lennon and Yoko Ono's 1969 Georgian garden features a charming technique that is still the best way to upgrade boring stone walls

John lennon and yoko ono outside.

There's nothing more romantic than a crumbling stone wall with tiny flowers and errant strands of ivy growing through. The charmingly unkempt style has been a staple of British and European gardening forever, surging in popularity as we pivot towards more relaxed outdoor spaces. John Lennon and Yoko Ono's garden is the perfect inspiration.

The couple bought Tittlehurst Park, a Georgian mansion in Berkshire, in 1969. It features a white facade with stylish curvature and pretty columns. However, John and Yoko's Georgian garden is the most notable part of the home. It is replete with verdant grass and trees, and formalized with stone planters and a brick wall. The latter is home to a collection of cascading herbs and flowers for a wild feel.
