In 2014 the stunning garden layout at Millwater was awarded the Grand Prize by the Society of Garden Designers. We are delighted to be invited by the owners, Jonathan and Gail Hughes-Morgan for an informal tour of the gardens with members of their gardening team, followed by tea and cake in the garden.
Millwater’s garden is in part very modern, formed in 2009 in close collaboration between the owners and garden designer, Ian Smith at Acres Wild, while incorporating older ornamental trees and existing features into the design. Harmonious water features animate the richly planted spaces and an ancient mill race curves around the northern end of the garden where a colony of kingfishers flits along its banks.
