Introducing Rowen and Wren’s new season garden collection, evoking Arcadian idylls and the romance of nature’s uncontained beauty.

To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow. Anticipation is everything; the sight of blooms, sewn just as the nights have drawn in and the sun has bowed out gracefully, peaking eagerly out of the soil at spring’s return never fails to deliver unalloyed elation.

Rowen and Wren’s garden collection is an ode to those halcyon days of optimism at its purest. Our elegant plant structures in weathered zinc provide a sculptural platform for nature itself to take centre stage. And as is our guiding principle, subtlety reigns supreme, an ethos embodied by the zinc collection, which has been designed never to gild the lily but to appear timeless, unobtrusive and as an abiding constant in a bucolic tableau. The finish is available across our new metal furniture range, which slips effortlessly into the garden, without fuss or the starkness of the new. As with the very trees and borders themselves, our measure of success is that it should simply seem as if it’s always been there.

The green fingered will rejoice too in our handmade market and storage baskets and our English-made trugs, which are made for gathering up the bounty yielded by the garden; while our craftsmen-made hand-hewn Dutch garden tools in blonde wood and metal chime beautifully with our signature restraint and focus on natural materials. Meanwhile, a liberal scattering of prettily planted hand-thrown terracotta pots – complete with charming idiosyncrasies – completes the rustic scene.

As every good gardener knows, at the end of a day’s cultivating it is time to de-boot; and where better to do so than in a room dedicated to that very thing? The boot room is the perfect spot to strip away the attendant earthy paraphernalia, and emerge, ready for al fresco feasting in the garden. As the sun dims into darkness, our enamelware, daubed with fresh Mediterranean-style vivid blue brushwork, and our weighty glassware are beautifully set off by dotted tea lights in shallow terracotta pots. For in the words of the great Francis Bacon, the garden is “the purest of human pleasures” – and that goes just as much for night time revelling as daytime toiling.
