The Laskett Gardens, near Much Birch, Herefordshire, England, were created by Sir Roy Strong and Julia Trevelyan Oman.[1] The couple purchased and moved to the rural property in 1973 and, over the next thirty years, built the garden from scratch.[2]
In 2015 Strong announced that he would bequeath the property to the Gardeners' Royal Benevolent Society (Perennial).[3] Perennial accepted the gift in 2021.[4]
Commissioned paintings of The Laskett Gardens were completed by Jonathan Myles-Lea (1995), Richard Shirley Smith (2006) and Paul Brason (2009).[5]
