93 Dulwich Village: Described by some as “the most romantic garden in Dulwich”, two mature cherry trees command centre stage. Over the past couple of years, a bank of fifty-year-old shrubs has been removed, revealing a beautiful old brick wall. Apple trees, a pear tree, a fig tree, a quince and a vine against the back wall play starring roles.
105 Dulwich Village: Georgian house with large garden stretching to Dulwich Park. Featured in Garden News and Garden Answers. Also shown on Austrian television. Regional Finalist, The English Garden Magazine’s ‘The Nation’s Favourite Garden’ 2023. A very pretty flower-lover’s garden developed over 40 years, with blue and white planting round a formal goldfish pond. Glorious colours elsewhere to attract bees and butterflies. Roses, delphiniums, many unusual perennials and planters full of jolly annuals. Ancient mulberry tree. Attractive early C20th greenhouse. Lawns, shrubbery. Waterfall and pond with newts and other wildlife including leeches (children need to be supervised here).
