The Rectory Garden

Firmly rooted in classical tradition, infused with a deep understanding of the natural world.

Taylor Tripp is a leading landscape design practice based in Winchester with a reputation for creating elegant English country gardens — gardens that are both beautiful and timeless. Our work is firmly rooted in the tradition of classic garden design and informed by an enduring curiosity about how gardens evolve.

Led by Nicholas Tripp and a small, dedicated team, the studio works on private gardens, country houses and estates across Hampshire, the Home Counties and beyond — including ongoing collaborations on the Leckford Estate and with Houghton Lodge Gardens. We continue to advise on many of the gardens we have designed for years after planting, and several of our client relationships now span more than seventeen years.

Influence comes from the very best in the field — from Gertrude Jekyll through to Piet Oudolf, whose Scampston Hall planting we revisit often. The result is gardens with structure, atmosphere and abundance — gardens that earn their keep in every season.
