8 Claremont Road

Paintings, prints, and pots to see and buy in this small town garden, owned by an artist gardener. The unusual house was built in 2015. Gravel paths divide rectangular beds filled with herbaceous perennials, grasses, and ferns. A cow trough water feature and the owner’s ceramics add surprise. A gate leads to a deliberate wild area with fruit bushes and an art studio with garden related paintings.

About 8 Claremont Road

Marlow is a lovely Georgian town on the Thames. Plants, pots and paintings are the combined passions of the owner of this small town garden. The architect designed house was completed in 2015 and the garden followed in 2016. The garden is in 3 parts. The front garden is in heavy shade with a triangular ‘lawn’ of Hakonechloa, and beds of Thalictrum, Epimedium and a variety of ferns. The main garden faces South, with no formal lawn, but beds largely filled with sun loving perennials and many grasses. In Spring the whole garden is filled with bulbs and blossom, and at the far side of the house there is a tiny ‘secret garden’ with a rill. The gravel paths are allowed to seed with plants like Buplerum falcatum and Succisa pratensis. The owner’s ceramics include bird baths, planters and garden related sculptures. The back garden contains fruit bushes, a sculptural dead hedge, Gertrude the scarecrow and a hedgehog house. There is a rustic shed in which the owner works on oil paintings related to the garden. Behind this are the all important compost and leaf bins.
