FOXES, BATS AND DRAGONFLIES JOIN FRIENDS AND FAMILY IN CLARE AND DAVID CLARKE'S FLOWER-FILLED, MULTI-ZONED GARDEN

- 

A larger garden was high on Clare and David Clarke's wish list when they moved from their edge of London home to the Surrey countryside. 'Over 25 years we'd learned a lot from working on our previous garden,' says Clare. 'I fell in love with this house partly because of its beautiful garden."

The couple’s early Victorian home sits on a spacious plot, with lawns and mature trees at the front. Clare and David concentrated on the back, where the ground slopes gradually up from the house towards a greenhouse.
