摘要

Like morning mist, charm and atmosphere are those annoyingly intangible garden ingredients we ail covet but can never hope to find on the garden centre shelf. Exciting plants and clever landscaping don't always add up to that elusive 'X' factor, but British designer Dan Pearson had some invaluable advice when he visited for Hunters Garden Marlborough recently. Pearson's forte is creating evocative spaces with a strong sense of place, yet he is also one of those rare designers who successfully bridgethe gap between being a cutting edge modernist and a passionate plantsman.
