After my mother died, my father and I completed her ambitious plans for the garden ๐ŸŒฑ

Designer Tom Simpson used his professional knowledge โ€“ and many plants from his show gardens โ€“ to transform the garden of his familyโ€™s modern house in Devon.

Tom drew up a plan, which he now concedes was far too ambitious. โ€œWe didnโ€™t really stick to it โ€“ which is how it goes when you make a garden yourself, and do it over a number of years. Itโ€™s a family garden, with three people involved in it โ€“ and our three personalities are all expressed in different ways in the garden. While there was a plan, it became a team effort and a shared family passion.โ€
