a couple quick announcements and a preview, hooray! we’ve had a bit of a change up in staffing, so we’d like to welcome jaycie and irene to staff! everyone give them all the love that they deserve as they help us finish things up. as far as an opening date goes, we need to compare notes with our new staff team and get a couple things finalized so as soon as we have it set, we will tell you guys. no need to keep sending in anons asking us when the opening date is, friends! once it’s ready, you guys will know.

while we are hard at work finishing things up and getting closer to finalizing a projected opening date, we wanted to share with you guys something that we think you will enjoy and help build up some more background for your characters: the town layout! underneath the cut, you will find the general overview of hickory creek. something fun about the forum is that in our points shop, you will actually be able to buy subforums to add your own locations to the site, since we want you guys to collaborate and help build hickory creek too! (: let us know if you’ve got any questions! xo

hickory creek was originally founded in 1717 and currently has a growing population of 9,973. it's your typical, idyllic sleepy new england town on the coast with quaint shops, a town center with a gazebo, and a lighthouse dock that ends up in calendars of peaceful town. hickory creek is split up into four main areas that are noted for their minor yet distinct differences in shops, financial class, and attitudes of the people. the further out of the town you go, the larger the properties get. this area makes up rose acres, a beautiful and picturesque area with plenty of old colonial homes and families that have pockets that run infinitely deep. however, despite the acres of land, it's the least populated area of town due to the old money feel and the cost of mortgages and such in the area. many of the children are raised with the attitude that they're better than the rest of the town here, giving them an air of pretentiousness and classist mentality. the nearest private school is a 30-minute drive in the next town over where most of the children attend in their formative years. // sights to see: amour de la nourriture (expensive fine dining), the kent firm (law firm), tate stables (large horse farm), the bordeaux inn (spacious wedding and event venue), hickory medical center (decent sized hospital) a little more modest, hickory square is your traditional family properties, mostly with middle-class families that have been here for two or more generations. this is the largest are within hickory creek, encompassing most of the high street, town center, and the school district. residents within hickory creek square are generally always the ones who return post college and make their lives within the quaint little town. they value a strong work ethic, teaching the attitudes and mindset of putting in your dues to reap stronger benefits. it's truly a community and neighborhood feel around hickory square, where nearly everyone knows your name and they like it that way. // sights to see: hickory diner (the popular small diner), nook's (small bookstore), hickory town hall (law offices, post office, courtroom, etc), school corner (hickory creek elementary, middle, and high school; home of the wolves), town square (park and gazebo) near the town boundaries, things start to turn into what feels like a different town. dixon bend is the quarter of town that is furthest from the ocean and starts to border more of the cropland. dixon bend is home to a small trailer park, a few run-down farms, a dive bar or two, and some smaller family homes. unfortunately it is kind of the stain of the town that nobody speaks about, and the mentality has started to spread within the community. they feel looked down upon, almost like they are never quite good enough for their town. however, in the more recent generations, this has instilled a sense of righteousness and dedication between the inhabitants who want to create a better situation for themselves and their families. // sights to see: ryland's pharmacy (a small family owned drugstore), smokey's (a popular local dive bar), berry's auto body shop (mechanic garage), inked (a small tattoo shop rented out of a run down basement building), hideaway (cheap greasy food diner) lastly, the bay area & lighthouse is known as cohen point. it seems to be the only part of the town that is being touched by modern time, home to a couple of apartment complexes and condo's with a more modern style. this tends to be where the young adults move back to post-college if they aren't wanting to return to their family homes. in recent years, it has also become the destination for all new locals; anyone moving to hickory creek for the first time tends to start in cohen point first. it is where you can find a couple of seafood restaurants and niche tourist stores, mainly because of the view. it has the attitude and personality of a trendy place for city people to move to, something the older residents are not happy about it. // sights to see: castaway inn (hotel and inn), cohen dock and lighthouse (pier with tourist niches; nicknamed "hickory dickory dock" by locals), pearl's fresh groceries and deli (the main grocer with fresh catches each day), hcnc headquarters (hickory creek news channel broadcasting station), eastern's delights (expensive seafood restaurant) while the town has a few chain stores, with a starbucks and a mcdonalds, the majority tend to prefer the local joints where people know their name and typically know their orders. for larger things that you can't quite find in hickory creek, such as college, a larger hospital and emergency room, and so forth, one would have to travel to the nearby metropolitan greene hills. it is about a 30 minute drive, and many make the daily commute to work or to class as applicable. (*** important note: while your character may have jobs or classes in greene hills, characters cannot live there. all characters on the board must live within hickory creek. ***) the town motto, "we like it here", is one that is met with jokes from the young crowd: you don't necessarily love it here, but you also can't hate it either because of it's idyllic charm. it's the kind of town where most people know one another, at least in passing, and they like it that way.

An Incredible Dining Experience

The Duck

The Location

One of my favourite things to do on a weekend is go for a drive and discover somewhere yummy to eat. A good few months back I drove past The Duck and pulled in thinking what a lovely building this was, I went to get a table but it was jam packed full of happy faces and unfortunately on that occasion, we were unable to get a table. Fast forward a couple of months later, I decided to try my luck again and this time, was able to book a table.

The Duck, situated in the lovely Pett Bottom, is originally two farm cottages that were built in the early 17th century. A lovely little fact is that of The Duck’s association with Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond and where it is claimed he wrote “You Only Live Twice“. Pett Bottom became the fictional home to the young James Bond when he stayed with his aunt as a child and when in “You Only Live Twice” James Bond apparently dies, his boss ‘M’ writes an obituary for The Times in which he mentions The Duck Inn at Pett Bottom.

The Duck is a wonderful pub and restaurant – cosy, welcoming and warm. Absolutely perfect for a rainy day. The minute you walk in you’ll be faced with a bar and a generous selection of ales and gin and if you’re lucky, you’ll be fronted by a delicious home made bread ready to be cut and served to you whilst you wait.

The Starter

When something is so perfect, it’s honestly hard to write anything else. This Gin Cured Salmon, Horseradish Crème Fraiche, Radish and a delicate helping of Watercress melted away in my mouth like air, I have eaten a lot of salmon dishes in my time and have thoroughly enjoyed some, forgotten others but there is not a chance I’d ever forget this delicious piece of cooking. Subtle, refreshing and packed to the brim full of flavour. Considering this was part of a 3 course meal, this is one of the prettiest looking starters I have seen and enjoyed in a long time.

#gallery-0-13 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-13 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-0-13 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-13 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

The Main

I have been to many restaurants and had pasta dishes and more often than not they have been lacking in depth and flavour. However, the minute this mushroom pappardelle came out, drizzled with the stunning flavours of rich truffle and pine nuts I was absolutely delighted. I have never had a pasta dish so incredibly creamy and generous in portion size and fully authentic in flavour. It can be difficult to get the consistency just right with creamy mushroom sauce as you want to make sure it is reduced enough so it clings generously to the pasta but not too much that you lose the sauce. This dish is easily one of the best ones I have had in a long, long while and I can guarantee that if you have this dish you will be smiling for days.

The Dessert

Three course dinners are a perfect choice, especially when you have a sweet tooth. It was difficult though having just eaten one of the richest yet scrubbiest pasta dishes but there is always room for pudding, no? Well if you are like me, then you’ll want to try this fudgey, heavenly, chocolate cake then won’t you? I absolutely adore the rich, deep flavours that a chocolate ganache style cake brings – creamy like a cheesecake but still has that cake texture that hits so many spots but when added with fresh raspberries that cut through the sweetness, you know you’re on to a bit of a winner. Delicious.

#gallery-0-15 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-15 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-0-15 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-15 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Overall

You know that dreamy image of a roaring fire, wet Sunday afternoons and the smell of delicious food seeping through the restaurant in a building that has been around for many years – The Duck champions that. It mixes a wonderful pub setting with a stunning restaurant with passionate staff that deliver every single time. They have a top notch gin menu, a wonderfully 3 course Sunday Set Menu for just £26.50 in an absolutely delightful setting. The Duck is absolutely the place to go, especially if you want top quality food in a beautiful part of Kent.

You Can Rent These 7 Stunning Modernist Homes by Famous Architects

MVRDV with Mole Architects, Balancing Barn, Suffolk. Photo © Jack Hobhouse.

Every deep, alabaster-white bathtub in the Dune House takes after a seashell. Their smooth, lustrous surfaces give way to cavities perfect for cradling warm water. It’s only natural, then, that bathing in one offers sweeping views of England’s blustery Suffolk coast, and the sea beyond it.

This setting might sound like the stuff of a billionaire’s home, but in fact, the Dune House is a vacation rental—one designed specifically with the goal of making daring, exquisite contemporary architecture accessible to more people.

The home is one of eight commissioned by Living Architecture, a company founded in 2006 by the renowned philosopher Alain de Botton. At the time, he’d recently penned a book titled The Architecture of Happiness, which mulled the impact of our dwellings on the human psyche. “An ugly room can coagulate any loose suspicions as to the incompleteness of life,” he wrote in the introduction, “while a sun-lit one set with honey-colored limestone tiles can lend support to whatever is most hopeful within us.”

It wasn’t enough for de Botton to simply write about the sundry ways in which design affects us, though; he wanted to bring his theories to life. And so he embarked on a mission to build rental homes commissioned by a number of the globe’s most forward-thinking architects. They would expose more people to contemporary architecture, he thought, and convince them of design’s power to make their lives better. “Our hope is that a holiday in a Living Architecture house will, in a modest but determined way, help to change the debate about what sort of houses we want to live in,” de Botton later wrote.

This past month, de Botton and his team completed Living Architecture’s final dwelling, the Secular Retreat. The company’s seven homes (one has been retired since erected) stretch across the United Kingdom, from Suffolk to Essex to Wales, and are designed by a range of international architecture firms, from Peter Zumthor to MVRDV, occasionally in concert with artists like Grayson Perry, Fiona Banner, and Hamish Fulton. Each can be rented for a relatively affordable £900 to £3,000 per week (the equivalent of around £50 to £200 per person per night, if a given rental is filled to capacity).

Below, we give you a glimpse into the homes, each marked with thoughtfully arranged details like sunken tubs, glass floors, biomorphic façades resembling dunes, and rooms designed specifically for quiet contemplation.

Secular Retreat

Architect: Peter Zumthor

Sleeps: 10

Location: South Devon

De Botton tapped Swiss, Pritzker Prize–winning architect Peter Zumthor to design this luminous home, situated on a hilltop plot purchased by Living Architecture some 10 years ago. Here, Zumthor’s creation puts the patchworked Devonshire landscape first: The glass-and-white-concrete structure has been positioned so that natural light floods each room, and its floor-to-ceiling windows and garland of terraces foreground views of sheep-studded farms and wooded knolls. “It has become rare to be able to sit in a house and look out at a beautiful landscape where no trace of another building interrupts the lines of the rolling hills,” wrote Zumthor. “I could not resist to try to create this house.”

The interior’s most charming details are made better by their proximity to large panes of glass. A writing desk tucked into a private nook looks out over a sea of verdure; so do each of the five beds, velvety pink stools, and an angular, deep-brown timber soaking tub. Furniture designed by Zumthor brings warmth to the space: It’s made from cinnamon-hued apple and cherry woods, or swathed in blush-colored fabrics. The loveliest, albeit subtlest facets of the house come in the form of the bedroom’s curtains, which are robin’s egg blue, to match the open skies surrounding the home.

Balancing Barn

Architect: MVRDV

Sleeps: 8

Location: Suffolk

A swing suspends from the bottom of this home, designed by Dutch firm MVRDV, half of which floats in in the air. The structure sits on the crest of a hill, in a bright-green meadow that once belonged to a farm owned by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust. In committing to the project, the architects aimed to honor the plot’s history and its indigenous flora, while also adding their renowned playful spin.

The house’s balancing act—half suspended in air and half rooted in thick, swaying grass—emphasizes the rolling Suffolk landscape and allowed MVRDV to add some of the structure’s most charming details. The floating living room boasts panoramic windows and a glass floor, reminding inhabitants of their intimate position in nature. The swing hangs below, looking out over a glistening pond and a thick tumble of trees. The exterior of the home points to the site’s history as a farm; MVRDV encased it in reflective steel tiles recalling local metal-clad barns, which mirror the surrounding greenery. “One of the briefs was that this is a house for nature and in nature,” de Botton wrote of the project. Indeed, at certain angles, the dwelling looks green rather than silver, melting into the countryside.

Long House

Architect: Sir Michael and Lady Patty Hopkins

Sleeps: 10

Location: Norfolk

A medieval manor, complete with a moat, once sat on the site of Long House, designed by Sir Michael and Lady Patty Hopkins. This long-gone estate, and the history of building in East Anglia, fed the architects’ plans for the contemporary home they’d erect here. Ancient barns, churches, and walled manors of the region inspired Long House’s most defining feature: an exterior wall built from a mosaic of tawny, ecru, and silvery-grey stones, sourced from a local quarry. Above it, a frieze of windows hints at the luminous, high-ceilinged rooms within. A sprawling central common area comes complete with a library, a fireplace, and a timber spiral staircase resembling a giant, intricate bird cage. Large glass sliding doors flank these details and give way to the surrounding salt marshes and farmland, with its occasional grazing horses. The Hopkins team dotted the mostly grey and umber interior framework with delicious pops of candy color: turquoise dining room chairs and freestanding closets, bright-red stools, and rugs patterned with purple teardrops.

A House for Essex

Architect: FAT Architecture’s Charles Holland and Grayson Perry

Sleeps: 4

Location: Essex

Turner-prize winning artist Grayson Perry teamed up with FAT’s Charles Holland to concoct Living Architecture’s most flamboyant retreat. Part–trippy playhouse and part–Baroque shrine, Perry has referred to the confection as “the Taj Mahal on the river Stour.” The comparison is apt for several reasons. Like the Taj, A House for Essex stands gloriously out of the surrounding landscape. It’s also an extravagant mausoleum—albeit to a fictional character.

Perry and Holland, who both originally hail from Essex, worked from an unusual prompt. They envisioned a home dedicated to the memory of an imagined “Essex Everywoman,” Julie Cope, whose story they used to reflect the character and landscape of their homeland. “It is like a richly encrusted and highly decorated barn, with a healthy dose of Essex bling thrown in,” explained Holland. “Ultimately, it is a built story with something of the qualities of a fairy tale.”

There is a devotional quality to the building: Holland and Perry looked to age-old pilgrimage chapels as they planned its exterior framework. Tall roofs and a long façade are encrusted with ornamentation—including sculptures and tiles depicting Cope’s likeness—honoring the architects’ secular patron saint. Inside, a colorful cacophony of sculptures, paintings, floor mosaics, and furniture tells the story of one woman’s long, colorful life in Essex. Charming, eccentric details reflect Cope’s imagined proclivities, while offering vacationers an architectural playground. Upstairs, two bedrooms come with secret walk-through cupboards that lead to balconies perched above the home’s lofty, kaleidoscopic chapel.

Shingle House

Architect: NORD

Sleeps: 8

Location: Kent

In summer, violet blue flowers, called Viper’s Bugloss, carpet the area around Shingle House, situated on Kent’s Dungeness beach. The Scottish architecture firm NORD drew inspiration from their blooms, making the floors from plum-brown Purpleheart timber. In this and many other ways, the structure responds to the surrounding landscape, which is marked by the ocean, traditional cottages, lighthouses, and the track of a miniature coastal stream train.

NORD looked to train carriages and local fishermen’s huts when designing the home’s slatted façade and cozy, compact interior. Bedroom and dining room windows double as folding doors that open straight onto the pebbly beach, while a bathroom skylight sends a flood of sun over a deep tub. But a bath house adjacent to the main building might be Shingle House’s single greatest perk: Here, visitors can lower themselves into a black, polished-concrete sunken tub with a view of the ocean vista.

Life House

Architect: John Pawson

Sleeps: 6

Location: Wales

Japanese design and the architecture of Benedictine monks informed this Welsh retreat, devised to optimize relaxation and contemplation. Motivated by a frenetic, anxiety-riddled contemporary world, de Botton and architect John Pawson envisioned a space conducive to quiet, which they hoped would minimize the risk that “we will forget to make time for ourselves, and omit to understand our own minds,” as de Botton has explained.

Every inch of Life House was conceived with tranquility in mind. The structure is situated on a remote, rolling plot in the Welsh countryside. Its minimalist façade of smooth black bricks fluidly gives way to large, paneless windows and barely visible doors. The palette here is limited, ascribing to a yin-yang concept of balance. In contrast to a dark exterior, white and cream materials cover the interior. Couches, tables, and beds generally lie low, chosen for their smooth, uncluttered lines and soft palettes. Even the books and music that fill the structure have been chosen for their therapeutic and transcendent powers, while artist Hamish Fulton curated paths around the house specifically for walks aimed at soothing the mind.

Dune House

Architect: Jarmund/Vigsnæs

Sleeps: 9

Location: Suffolk

The faceted, pitched second floor of Dune House indeed resembles the sand mounds that gave the building its name, along with other nautical elements like horseshoe crabs and ship hulls. Those aren’t the only design elements inspired by the North Sea and its surrounding landscape, however. An orange-tinted, steel-alloy roof reflects the mercurial movements of sea and sky, while a wall of first-floor windows gives the impression that there is no barrier between house and sand. Inside, an upper-floor library connects to a terrace, where an afternoon of reading can be accented with occasional ocean-gazing. And of course, there are the tubs: one in every bedroom, where you make like a sea creature by submerging yourself in water while simultaneously watching the roiling waves below.

Fall in love with Crawley Down Village and Tiltwood…

The village of Crawley Down is nestled between Turners Hill to the south, East Grinstead to the east, Copthorne to the West and Lingfield to the north, with the launch of Tiltwood (A collection of three unique detached houses set in the stunning, tranquil setting of the Tiltwood Estate, Crawley Down) a discussion was prompted about ‘hidden gems’ in the area.

We hope we have found some places you will love to visit…

We have chosen places in and around the village…

Pots and Pithoi – a hidden gem to meet for coffee

We are always being asked for coffee shop recommendations. Of course, there is Rosie’s in Lingfield – which is incredible if you have a little one with her array of brilliant events going on for children.

If you are looking for a secret location to meet for a friend for coffee or a Saturday afternoon cup of tea… take a look inside the amazing Pots and Pithoi (we have to be completely honest and say that given we have lived in the area for 20 years, driven by Pots and Pithoi, it was only stumbling across some images on Facebook we became aware of this hidden gem!) Beautiful courtyards, welcoming and cosy cafe, a temptingly ‘curated’ shop.

Pots and Pithoi delivers on so many levels (just take a look at the photographs) as you will see you don’t need to visit to just buy a terracotta pot … although you will be highly tempted! Pots & Piltoi is located on the road between Turners Hill and East Grinstead (about 5 minutes from Tiltwood)

Flanagan’s – For the best Sunday roast, a traditional butchers

We chatted about shopping being very easy with East Grinstead on your doorstep – Waitrose, Sainsbury’s and Aldi… and the Tesco Extra near Gatwick. The hidden gem is in the heart of Crawley Down Village, as well as having a village Co-op the ‘gem’ is the most fabulous traditional butcher – Flanagan’s, how lovely to be able to pop into the village to this wonderful butcher, whether you are hosting Sunday lunch with friends in the incredible kitchen…

or perhaps a family BBQ in the hidden courtyard…

Flanagan’s is perfect

Alexander House Hotel – Afternoon Tea, or a day at the spa!

The Worth Way – a perfect walk (or run!)

The Worth Way is a hidden gem for those of you who love being out in the country side – walking or cycling. West Sussex County Council provide information about the Worth Way and how it passes through open countryside of the High Weald area of outstanding natural beauty

“Since the closure of the railway in the 1960s, much of it has been colonised by trees such as ash and silver birch. Where chalk was used in the construction of the railway, chalk-loving plants such as Guelder Rose, Common Spotted Orchid, Twayblade and wild strawberry now flourish.

Worth Way offers a green corridor for wildlife, connecting different habitats together. Birdsong to listen out for includes the calls of the Chiffchaff and Nuthatch. At Crawley Down Pond there is even the chance of a glimpse of a kingfisher.

Butterflies to look out for include Brimstone, Speckled Wood, Meadow Brown, Ringlet, Skipper and, in June, the White Admiral. Bats can sometimes be seen at dusk. Adders, Grass Snakes and Common Lizards bask in the sunny glades along the old trackside” WSCC Website

GROWING OBSESSION

BY TIM WATERMAN

The colonial past and the horticultural present take tea at London’s Garden Museum.

FROM THE OCTOBER 2017 ISSUE OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE MAGAZINE.

Just upstream and across the River Thames from the long, neo-Gothic bulk of the Palace of Westminster, which contains the houses of Parliament and the tower that contains the bell Big Ben, are two venerable buildings that have been added to since the Middle Ages. One is Lambeth Palace, the official London residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The other is the old church of St Mary-at-Lambeth, now the home of the Garden Museum.

The Garden Museum’s main focus is British gardens and gardening, including not just the most elaborate and vaunted ones, but also a more intimate history of smaller gardens. Featured in particular are those of the middle classes, which have given Britain the sense of being a “nation of gardeners.” For landscape architects with an interest in either stately or domestic gardens in Britain, the museum, which has been recently redeveloped and now includes a building addition, two newly redesigned gardens, a superb café, and an expanded collection, will be a delight. Rather than serving, as a botanical garden might, to narrate garden history through garden spaces, the Garden Museum’s collection gives a more personal-scale view through tools and ephemera that help relate the space of the garden to the space of the imagination and desire. The museum fits compactly into the space of a historic neighborhood church and the tightly bounded urban churchyard.

The Garden Museum opened in 1977, following the church’s deconsecration, but it had come perilously close to demolition—its creepy, boarded-up dereliction made it suitable for use as a location for the supernatural horror film The Omen. It was saved by the efforts of garden enthusiasts Rosemary and John Nicholson, who were drawn to the place because of its association with the great 17th-century plant hunters and naturalists John Tradescant the Elder and his son (the Younger), who are both buried in the churchyard, alongside William Bligh, himself a plant hunter, and whose ship, the Bounty, uncomfortably crammed full of potted breadfruit plants, was the site of a famous mutiny. The Tradescants’ elaborate tomb, once in the churchyard of St Mary-at-Lambeth, what is now the site of the museum’s new extension and its courtyard, is adorned with reliefs of exotic Mediterranean landscapes, and on one panel, a deeply carved many-headed hydra and a skull—a memento mori. The hydra would become a metaphor, in the 1700s, for the multiple insurgencies of piracy, mutiny, and slave rebellion faced by the British Empire in the early days of globalization.

The plantings by Christopher Bradley-Hole play nicely against a foil of yew. Photo courtesy of the Garden Museum.

The museum, in fact, is full of such reminders, and the English garden in modernity—since the 1600s—is itself a record, not just of a love of beauty, nature, and design, but of a violent history of conquest. Plant hunting is now a much more gentle quest, and the fruits of vigorous global botanizing, courtesy of Bleddyn and Sue Wynn-Jones of the celebrated Welsh nursery Crûg Farm, are visible in Dan Pearson’s design for the new Sackler Garden. Dan Pearson is a celebrated British plant designer and horticulturist whose practice employs a number of landscape architects. Pearson’s courtyard garden, barely 1,000 square feet, replaces the staid knot garden that once occupied the churchyard around the tombs, and it is framed by a light but confident bronze-clad addition by Dow Jones Architects. The bronze cladding echoes the scaling bark of the vast London plane trees that ring the museum, and some of the apparent lightness of the structure may be attributed to the fact that it had to be built without foundations, due to the roughly 20,000 bodies that have been interred in the churchyard since before the Norman Conquest.

One wonders if the roots of the plantings mingle with bones. If so, it’s heartening to think of the death below springing into life above. Some of the new addition around the courtyard of the Sackler Garden covers the old churchyard, but not the tombs of Vice Admiral Bligh and the Tradescants, which now visually anchor Pearson’s design. Plantings have an Anglo–Dutch sensibility, arising from the continuing conversation between British designers such as Pearson and the powerful influence from the Netherlands, particularly Piet Oudolf.

Among the plants, Ficus carica ‘Ice Crystal’ is one of the stars here—it is literally starry—its striking palmate snowflake-starburst leaves spangling away in one corner. Everywhere plant forms are celebrated. There is no distracting variegation, so one is given the luxury, for example, to contemplate just what a softly unearthly hue of green is Melianthus major, or just how starkly alert the stems of Equisetum are. Plantings are in succinct drifts—just large enough for an appreciation of the massing, but not so much as to become a monoculture. Plant forms are accentuated by these tight groupings. Plant heights are seemingly random, but the courtyard is small enough that low spots frame vistas punched through. From the new Garden Café inside the new extension, those views are to an educational kitchen and a classroom—the Clore Learning Space—where city kids can get their hands on plants, soil, earthworms, and food, though not all at once. “Many children in this neighborhood haven’t seen a worm or touched a plant,” says the museum’s director, Christopher Woodward. All these rooms have clean, elegant glazed walls facing the courtyard. The café has glazing on two sides, and Pearson’s plantings continue in a narrow strip before the street. One dines amid the plants.

At the main entry to the museum, the old church door, is another garden created by the minimalist designer Christopher Bradley-Hole. When I visited in August, the garden was incomplete, with gravel where there will soon be Croatian limestone. The space is formed by two elongated lozenges, edged round with waist-high clipped yew hedges. The outline of the space is traced out with bright LED strips at the base of the hedge. The use of such lighting has already lapsed into cliché owing to overuse, and here, as in so many other applications, any sense of mystery or shadow is sacrificed. Though the space is generous and its expanse of reflective stone will light up the heavy shade under the plane trees, it is both bland and static, and small areas of perennial planting near the door lack the verve of Pearson’s choices.

Planting plan. Image courtesy of Dan Pearson Studio.

There is continuity, at least, from the lighted outline of the garden to the museum interior, where strip lights continue up the stairs and along the balconies. Visitors’ faces are uplit as they gaze at the exhibits. As in the courtyard, where the building must not intrude upon the historic remains, the museum is a freestanding installation within the old church structure that must not touch the walls. As a result, the structure, of blond wood, twines and floats through the arches and recesses. The collection housed in the museum was originally composed of vintage tools, which over the years expanded to include garden ephemera. There is now an archive (which includes the records of the British garden designers John Brookes, Beth Chatto, and Penelope Hobhouse) and a growing selection of books, artworks, plans, and drawings. Highlights include Humphry Repton’s 1793 Red Book for Sundridge Park in Kent and Dominic Cole’s general layout plan for the Eden Project. The design drawing display is limited, but there is much else to delight garden enthusiasts.

At the end of the church is a gallery for temporary exhibitions (this autumn there will be one dedicated to Repton), and opposite, where the altar once stood, is now a small room with an idiosyncratic miscellany on display called the Ark Gallery. It is a reference to the Tradescants’ private museum by that same name, once one of London’s wonders and a classic cabinet of curiosities. Some of the items are on loan from the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, and include such items as a Native American ball club, elk skulls, a statue of Saint Fiacre, the patron saint of gardeners, and, most bizarre, a hoax object called a “vegetable lamb.” This was purported to have been a plant that fruited sheep. The “lamb” is, in fact, pieced together from nascent, fuzzy fern fronds. The miscellany might seem random, but it helps to see how the garden was viewed as a collection, or a naturalist study by the Tradescants rather than primarily as a designed or aesthetic space.

Standing in the Ark next to a portrait of Tradescant the Elder with some of his collection of exotic seashells, I ask Woodward whether the museum will have international appeal. “The thing about plants,” he replies, “is they’re as local as the flower in your eye or as distant as a breadfruit.” The Tradescants believed that all the dispersed plants of Eden could someday be collected in a botanic garden. What better place to contemplate the cosmopolitan nature of the garden, and the darker side of conquest, than a museum at the heart of a former empire.

CULTURE VULTURES

Port Eliot Festival, St Germans Estate, Cornwall, July 27-30

Set in the beautiful, rolling countryside and gardens of St Germans estate, this magical celebration of words, music, food, fashion and imagination is the original boutique festival and still manages to feel like a private garden party. For four days, you can roam the grounds wild swimming in the estuary, picnicking under the trees, watching cooking demos from top foodies, including Gizzi Erskine and Thomasina Miers or listening to gigs in Cornwall’s oldest church. When you’ve sated your cultural appetite, head to Lark’s Haven, an oasis of Zen with hot tubs and saunas to soothe weary limbs and workshops to help you find inner peace. Stretch out, meditate and dance in The Yoga Yurt with sessions including Vinyasa flow, Disco Yoga and Tibetan chanting. There’s also medicinal foraging sessions, astronomy adventures, a host of activities for kids from a Forest School to Amazing Art Cart workshops, and so much more.

BEST FOR:

ECO QUEENS

Wilderness, Cornbury Park, Oxfordshire, August 3-6

If you love camping and communing with nature just as much as you enjoy the music and partying side of festivals, head for Wilderness. Set in a private nature reserve with ancient forests, undulating meadows and a fresh-water lake where you can wild swim, there’s space to breathe and dream while you enjoy the magic. With no day-guest passes, it’s a truly immersive experience. You could spend the entire festival lazing at The Lakeside Spa, being pampered in the Neals’ Yard yurts or trying the huge array of yoga, Pilates and Barre classes. But then you’d miss the pop-up banquets from chefs such as Ottolenghi, amazing theatre performances and stimulating debates, clubbing deep in the forest at The Valley and rocking out to this year’s headliners including Grace Jones. COST: From £168.50 for a weekend ticket; wildernessfestival.com

BEST FOR:

MUSIC FANS

Bestival, Lulworth Estate, Dorset, September 7-10

For all you die-hard music lovers, Bestifval will quench your desire for a classic summer music festival, packed with a myriad of national and international talent. Catch renowned British band The XX as they headline the event with their brand new album I See You, or boogie down to iconic 90s band A Tribe Called Quest’s sounds. It’s not all about the music, though – there is heaps more to do. Stroll up to the Slow Motion arena where you can take part in yoga and spin classes, nature runs, or relax in hot tubs and enjoy healthy food. All this, with the beautiful Lulworth Castle as a backdrop! COST: Adult weekend tickets start from £196, with discounted options available for students and children aged under 17 years old; bestival.net

Camp Bestival, Lulworth Estate, Dorset, July 27-30

If you can’t make Bestival but still want a taste of the action, why not check out it’s little sister event, held earlier in the year, in the same location. The festival includes similar activities to Bestival, such as the Slow Motion wellness and fitness area. Again, live-music trumps the festival with almost 100 incredible performances to enjoy over the weekend. More family-orientated, Camp Bestival features a huge kids’ area where you can let your little ones run around and explore the many activities including soft play, circus skills, go-carts and shows. COST: Adult day tickets start from £65; campbestival.net
