Garden follies

A picturesque and creative addition to a modern garden or landscape.

Create your unique folly

Garden follies, sometimes known as grottoes or ruins, have a unique and almost magical element to them. Sometimes Classical, sometimes Gothic in style, they were popular in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries due to their aesthetically romantic qualities. Whether designed as a celebration of an event or person, or simply as a beautiful view point, a folly can inject personality and intrigue into any modern garden today.

As seen at the Chelsea Flower Show

Our medal-winning follies have been featured in numerous displays at the Chelsea Flower Show. Inspired by the works of Piranesi, this folly used a standard Haddonstone design to recreate an evocative scene of Roman antiquity.
