Striking form at a sculptural winter garden

The Apostle Garden, next to the house, is a relatively new garden made of two symmetrical parterres, each with six yew apostles, and Hydrangea arborescens ‘Annabelle’ planted in the gaps. The old flowerheads of the hydrangea last through the winter and the plants are then pruned in the spring. The yew will be clipped annually into tight forms.
