I’ve always loved the voluptuous shade cast by the large leaves of Victorian planting favourites like acanthus. 19th-century gardens used nature with architectural panache, celebrating shrubs for their muscular photosynthesis, creating exterior spaces that had fairytale mystery—every bit as dark as they were light. ‘Hedgerovia’ is my hymn to Glamourflage and the art of making rooms feel bigger by blurring interior boundaries using large-scale organic patterns.
