2002
Overview
[Rosalind Richards] was born at Springhead and returned to live here in 1997, determined to rescue the garden from dereliction. \"My parents, Rolf and Marabel Gardiner, spent their lives making Springhead a centre for rural regeneration,\" she explains, \"and the garden was seen as integral to the estate's order.\" Rosalind's inspiration, and many of her prize plants, came from Nori and Sandra Pope at Hadspen. \"I love their garden and the things they teach, such as the resonance between gardens and different art forms. As a musician, I admire the rhythms they have established at Hadspen, and I placed the arbors to invite you to pause so that, like an orchestrated planting, they affect the speed with which you tour Springhead.\" Rosalind's childhood at Springhead was filled with music, dance and drama - her mother used the garden as a setting for festivals and in the 1950s bought a Venetian rotunda for the lakeside, knowing it would make a perfect backdrop to the enactment of legends and masques.
