Fickle Phoebe, the shepherdess, lives in the Forest of Arden where she has created a romantic forest garden. Her garden features a small meadow enclosed by hazel fencing, an oak stump shelter with honeysuckle around the entrance and a mossy bed. The planting is understated, calming and natural and includes trees such as English oak, silver birch, hawthorn and hazel. Ferns, ivy, lady’s mantle and flowering tobacco blend with the green of the forest – there is very little colour, but if you look closely you can see wild strawberries.

This garden is supported by Mundy Cruising, the UK’s leading cruise retailer and Fred Olsen Cruises, the UK’s favourite cruise provider.
