A coat of arms on a sundial on the front of Pettifers Garden Flat, Wardington. The dial is dated 2012 (MMXII).
Behind the house are Pettifers gardens owned by Gina Price, who has transformed Pettifers into one of the most influential gardens in England -
"In the summer of '84 James and I moved to Pettifers, where the garden of 1 and a half acres was waiting for us. Initially we began ploughing the land down the bottom, laying out the par terre, and learning as I went along.
Influenced by Dianey Binney of Kiftsgate, I made my borders wider and wider. She, and her sister Betsy, came over to criticise and advise. By the time they died my style was changing. Out went a lot of roses and shrubs, and larger drifts of plants evolved. In went grasses. My borders have to look good from April to November. Now I am paying attention to winter."
