The Delights of Laskett Gardens
A relaxed social with plenty of laughter
Members recently took a trip to the beautiful Laskett Gardens, a creative memorial by Sir Roy Strong CH and his late wife Julia Trevelyan Oman CBE.
The garden of the Laskett was designed and largely built by Sir Roy Strong and his late wife Julia Trevelyan Oman CBE. It is an autobiographical garden, reflecting their careers in the arts, and shows design influences both from history and from contemporaries like Cecil Beaton and Rosemary Verey.
Although just 4 acres, it seems much larger, with a formal plan of garden rooms, hedges, pleached limes, topiary and sculpture.
We had an incredible day and would highly recommend a visit if you get the opportunity to do so. Find out more about the Laskett Gardens here
