This garden redesign seamlessly blends its historic cottage charm with a modern Mediterranean-inspired aesthetic, ensuring it thrives in Maldon’s extreme climate of hot summers and frosty winters. Nadia Gill describes the project as a “sympathetic rejuvenation,” preserving the garden’s heritage elements, such as camellias and fruit trees, while introducing resilient, layered plantings and local stone to create multiple environments for relaxation and entertainment. This thoughtful approach ensures the garden remains a functional and cherished retreat for the family’s countryside escapes.
