The Royals star Elizabeth Hurley boasts an incredible garden at her £6 million Herefordshire property, complete with her own fishing lake, manicured shrubbery, and outdoor dining space.
It’s “a garden of two halves”, according to Ade.

“A formal looking garden can be incredibly pleasing on the eye. Well-clipped hedges, a colour palette rich in tones of green, and far-reaching wisteria hugging her home all bring a sense of calm,” he said.
“A patio made for socialising is surrounded by lavender. Not only do its purple flowers bring the feeling of relaxation, but its therapeutic aroma is ideal for someone’s wellbeing. Step beyond these borders and the countryside reigns. Rolling hills and aged trees, this is heaven on earth.”

Even more commendable are the garden’s regal influences.
“The garden is in keeping with the Georgian mansion, and has been designed like a traditional ‘pleasure garden’ of the era, with manicured lawns, panoramic views and even a lake,” said Zena. “The planting is informal but classic, to bring softness and romance, including roses, lavender and erigeron growing in cracks in the garden walls.”
In 2020, Elizabeth told HELLO! magazine: “Secretly, I’d much rather be gardening than doing anything else. I’ve been outside doing things for at least five hours a day. My brother bought me a set of what he calls ‘lady tools’ which are lightweight. I have my own shed with all my tools in it, and woe betide anyone else who uses them. Otherwise, I think I’m okay with everything.”
