Derek Jarman's Garden in Dungeness
Derek Jarman’s former home in Dungeness was this wooden fisherman’s house. The garden is full of local plant life from the Dungeness area, those that thrive well in the expanses of windswept shingle such as lavender, poppies and crambes. There are also sculptures made from found objects around the area, including stones, flints, fishing tackles and metal from old sea defenses. One of my favourite books is Derek Jarman’s Garden which contains some beautiful photographs of the garden by Howard Sooley.
