Alan Gray and Graham Robeson designed this lovely garden at East Ruston Old Vicarage without any assistance.
Despite the exposed position, the garden benefits from the proximity of the North Sea which ameliorates the cold northerly and easterly winds and periods of frost are shorter and less severe than those experienced inland. The soil is a good quality light loam and free-draining. This, combined with the low rainfall and milder winters than gardens further inland, enables us to grow a much wider range of half-hardy plants, giving the garden its exotic atmosphere.
