The Glasshouse


I've kept my favourite of the Petersham Open Gardens to last and that is The Glasshouse in River Lane. It's a modern house (2004) with a very modern garden that does all the things that a modern garden should do and it does them all exceptionally well. Here the bright white walls of the courtyard accentuate the vibrant shapes of the dark green plants that conspire to hide one of the seats conveniently placed to enjoy the garden.
