Having been omitted from the inheritance of the (much larger) family estate of Knole in Kent, the 20th-century poet and writer Vita Sackville- West fell in love with the dilapidated Sissinghurst castle and gardens in Kent, in 1930. Alongside her husband, Vita dedicated the next 30 years to renovating and totally replanting the expansive, segmented gardens which surround the iconic castle tower. With no formal training in garden design, she created unconventional planting schemes, motivated by the way the colours and scents of the flowers in bloom impacted on the experience of exploring the grounds. Sissinghurst is now one of the most-visited and best-loved gardens in England, and this joyful wallpaper mural depicting an abundance of wild layered blooms set against the more formal gardens has been designed and coloured to pay tribute to Sissinghurst’s eclectic vibrancy.
