About 26 Princes Avenue

In former times, Beth Chatto designed this garden for the then owners. When they moved, it was re purposed for children to play in.

Now, the present owners have made their mark by completely transforming it to reflect their life style and taste. Designed by Shelley Hugh-Jones and landscaped sensitively by Norland Landscapes it features a series of spaces to relax, feel secluded, entertain and even a music studio.

Their neighbours at No. 28 opened for the NGS for many years in tandem with other gardens in Princes Avenue. They moved in 2023. This new addition gives visitors the opportunity to explore yet another special garden in the road.
