The Pale Garden 80/12 Vase

In 1950, writer and poet, Vita Sackville West designed the White Garden of Sissinghurst where only the colours of white, green, grey and silver were to be allowed to grow in her new, pale garden. In a triumphant display, Vicky transforms giant Arabian thistles, which surge up 8-feet into the air, with a careful graduation of foamy gypsophila, white roses, camilla, and dotted shadows of cow parsley and daisies. In truth, the designer’s use of a sage ground was a stroke of genius, as it envelops the white planting of the garden with a dreamlike quality – allowing light and softened tones of pale greens, whites, and lemon yellows to create a picture of ethereal romance and poetry in motion.

“All the same, I cannot help hoping that the great ghostly barn-owl will sweep silently across a pale garden, next summer in the twilight- the pale garden that I am now planting, under the first flakes of snow." Vita Sackville West
