Essentially English: Anna Wintour's Garden on Long Island

https://www.gofundme.com/f/bellisvintage

This short video gives a brief view into Anna Wintour's Long Island Garden. But American it most definitely is not. Witness the mellowed brick walls, aged wooden gates, overflowing rambling roses and glades of cow parsley. And the landscape designer herself? Another Brit - Miranda Brooks.

The atmosphere of the garden is firmly based on England - in Ms Brooks words paying homage to her "homesickness". The garden structure itself is a blend of rooms with differing ambience: where the formal is interlaced with blousey and voluptuous informality, a lush mix of varying shades of green, with soft punctuation of white and occasional pinks, before eventually the garden opens out onto the waterfront, where only then are you reminded that this garden is in fact planted in North America.

But return again into the garden and you are at once transformed into the English bucolic without an exotic perennial in sight.

The video and photos are from the New York Times T Magazine.
