What are the aims of the Garden Vision?
•To set out and understand the key historic phases or layers, creators and character areas of the garden
•To articulate a Philosophy of Approach for the garden which respects the long-standing passion of several of its owners in garden design flowers and botany, both in nature and in art.
•To draw up a regime for the various character areas which will maintain appropriately high standards of management
•To evaluate the potential for restoration, enhancement work and new phases of design. These will be as resources permit and guided by the Conservation Management Plan and the key layers of significance.

DUDMASTONGarden Vision
“The topography of the Severn Valley in this location has led to side streams being incised into the plateau landscape to form deeply gauged valleys. This provided the late 18th century landscapers with a superb natural canvas with which to work….
Dudmaston has surviving designed landscape features which demonstrate the ingenuity of designers to exploit the topography of the setting”.
(Chris Burnett Survey & Restoration Plan, 2002)

DUDMASTONGarden Vision
Vision Statement:Rooted in the historic layers of Dudmaston’s garden but freed up by the property’s spirit of innovation, design and artistic creation, we will respect and draw out the garden’s key significances and will also be open to new ideas and developments. We will particularly remain conscious of the importance of the Picturesque character of the site and its underlying framework, features (Dingle, Rockery & Ladies’ Bath) and views. When carrying out projects in the garden, we will share our understanding of the garden’s history and our thought processes about its future with our visitors.

DUDMASTONGarden Vision
What did the Garden Panel say?•We are essentially dealing with a ‘pocket’ Picturesque landscape
•The Dingle should be considered and treated as part of the Garden, not as part of the Park
•The Rockery needs to be understood within this context
•The priorities are reclaiming the views, keeping the planting simple, combining innovation with respect for the 18th century Picturesque framework.
