To maintain and enhance those pockets, Wakefield devised an economical plan - Goad was nearing the end of her house renovations and budgets were tight - that hinged on dividing the garden into sections. “But it had a well-loved, characterful feeling going for it. “You almost needed a machete to beat your way to the back wall,” Wakefield recalls with a laugh. The previous owners worked in theater - he as a producer and she as a set designer - and the garden was filled to the brim with plants, statues, mirrors and stage props. She was also undaunted by the “jungle” she encountered upon her first visit to Goad’s in September 2019. “I’d seen that Butter had done a tiny London patio which was really inventive.” Wakefield, in turn, was an admirer of Goad’s, having purchased one of her stripy ceramic jugs several years prior. “Though I grew up in the countryside, where my mum has a beautiful garden, I’d never had one myself,” Goad says. To accomplish this, she sought advice from the American-born, London-based garden designer Butter Wakefield. “I wanted to shake up what could have been a formulaic layout, creating a sense of discovery even in a small space, which is what I like to do with interiors,” says Goad.
