The gardens at Ham House are always being worked on and there are changes from year to year and season to season.
Previously, the Plats, the eight lawn squares at the back of the house, had escaped attention and now their time is coming. Designs have been etched into the grass that suggest that flower beds, or something else decorative, will soon be coming.
This is good news. The Plats were built to show off wealth when lawns were expensive and unusual but times change and everybody has a lawn and this large expanse was easily the least interesting part of the garden.
