Farmyard at Bury Court, Bentley

Until the 1980s Bury Court was a hop farm, becoming a plant nursery, Green Farm Plants in the mid 1990s. When this photo was taken (probably May 1995) work appeared to have just commenced on turning the large farmyard into a contemporary walled garden, designed by Piet Oudolf. The threshing barn seen here was moved to the site in the 1930s. In 2002 it was converted into a venue for weddings, corporate events and the like, also hosting opera and musical events. The nursery's show garden was incorporated into the hospitality business. As of April 2013 it is occasionally open to the public.
