Badminton, Flower Beds and Paths RP/1/1/2/5

A pencil design on tracing paper of the herb garden. Undated it was presumably drawn up around the same time as RP/1/1/2/17, which is identified as being a design for the herb garden and dated 30 May 1972. The flower beds and pathways are marked (with dimensions).

The Badminton Estate, in the Gloucestershire countryside, has been home to the Dukes of Beaufort since the late 17th century. Here, at the Cottage, Page helped to create a series of elegant yet relaxed garden rooms. His work there spanned two decades, and the final designs were among his last.
