Idyllic English Gardens for the Whole Community (14 photos)

Gardens at a Glance
Who lives here: There are 65 houses on the estate, and the gardens are communal.
Location: Weybridge, Surrey, England
Designer: Originally, the late Ivor Cunningham, a Span landscape architect; now maintained and managed by the Templemere Residents Society

Templemere resident Matthew Baxter is a former member of the Residents Society and the son of Warner Baxter, who worked with Eric Lyons.

“It was my father, in around 1960, who discovered this plot,” Baxter says. “He worked for Eric Lyons, the architect, and was on his way back from a site visit with Preben Jakobsen, a Danish landscape architect who also worked for Eric Lyons. They stopped at a petrol station and, out of curiosity, looked over its fence and saw this site.”
