alexander72 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I am starting a job for the National Trust today restoring a parkland and woodland for the National Trust and Natural England (used to be English Heritage I think). We are creating views over several kilometres to reinstate a parkland designed, and originally created in the 1700's. Uncovering an amphitheater (something everyone should have) and opening water ways covered for over 100 years. I will be posting updates on my facebook for the next six weeks if anyone is interested. Location is National Trust - Farnborough Hall, Banbury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory's Dad Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 It always amazes me that the great C18 landscape gardeners could get paid to design and implement a scheme that might take 100 yars to mature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
