OUT & ABOUT

If you enjoy looking for unusual and exotic plants, you will certainly find them at Borde Hill garden in West Sussex, where the endeavours of intrepid plant hunters are celebrated in a lush new area. Young designer Sophie Walker has devised the Round Dell in collaboration with renowned modern-day plant hunters Bleddyn and Sue Wynn-Jones of Crûg farm Plants in north Wales, selecting intriguing varieties that deserve more than a second glance. The striking arrow-like paths (shown left) that cut through the garden mimic the bow of a boat cutting through the undergrowth.
