Grade I status is the highest on the register and means any changes to the garden will need to be put through a consultation and planning process involving Historic England and The Gardens Trust. But it does not necessarily mean the garden and nursery will remain open to the public. <\/p> <p>In her piece for <em>Gardens Illustrated<\/em> on the garden, Isabel Bannerman said: Margery&#8217;s \u2018look\u2019 is very familiar and currently very unfashionable; crazy paving with alpine planting; silver and variegated shrubs along with signature blue conifers; loose herbaceous\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gardensillustrated.com\/plants\/perennial-plants-best\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">perennials<\/a>.

The creation of the garden was documented in her book <em>We Made a Garden<\/em>, which became an iconic gardening book and one of many that Fish would go on to write. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Ditch at East Lambrook Manor, carpeted with snowdrops<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Manor is not being sold as a business, although fixtures and fittings in the Malthouse and the nursery could be available by separate negotiation. <\/p> <p>The gardens include a collection of stunning snowdrops, as well as hellebores, euphorbia, algerian irises, tulips, violets and much more.
