The English Garden – September 2019

MALTHOUSE

FARM

Last But

Not Least

Taking blue clay soil and strong south-westerly winds in her stride,

Helen Keys has created a multi-faceted garden in the South Downs,

whose finest hour comes with a glorious blast of late-summer colour

In the vegetable garden,

tagetes, potted salvias

and dahlias mingle with

rhubarb, cucumbers, red

kale and amaranthus.
