Gardens of Corfu

Rachel Weaving, a writer and garden maker, came late to Corfu but fell quickly in love with the island's natural beauty and spellbinding gardens. After a career in communication and management in interantional financial organisations, she obtained an RHS Certificate in Horticulture, studied garden design at the Oxford College of Garden Design, and advised on garden design. She began creating her current garden twelve years ago on a Corfiot hillside. The challenge of doing so led her to study the island's gardening conditions and traditions and their roots in its culture, history, and natural environment. She lives in Washington, DC and Corfu.
