#5 Gatton Park: the park of dreams
MICHELE DEL RE, IL SEGRETO DEL GIARDINO DEL SOGNO


There is a park in Surrey that expresses nature’swonders and man’s work of preservation: Gatton Park. Here the large green expanses, 600 acres curated by two different Trusts, are divided into different landscapes showing thatthe promotion and custody of natural environment, gardens and historic buildings are an ethical and, at the same time, economically fruitful investment.

The charm is immediately transmitted by the uniqueness of Gatton’s design, made by the famous landscape designer Lancelot Brown, which shows a series of small ponds culminating in the main lake (the two islands inthe lake host wild flora and fauna). Water features take the visitor through the Japanese garden and along the perimeter of the park, in a harmony of really wonderful geometries.

There are various initiatives dedicated to different types of visitors during Spring and Summer,letting us appreciate the biodiversity of scents, colors and natural sounds,for the delight of our senses.
