‘To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.’

What a wonderful quote, coined by keen garden and nature admirer, Audrey Hepburn, during the filming of her documentary TV series, ‘Gardens of the World’. Like every gardener, she understood that a beautiful garden requires patience, then with a little luck and design, the rewards will be great.

The decorative leaf that bears her inspirational quote can be hung from a tree, fixed to a wall, or even grace your Christmas tree in the festive season, to be brought back outside again when the holiday is over.

Suitable for outdoor and indoor settings, the leaves are made in Oxfordshire of mild steel, with exterior grade powder coating. Over time, if used outside, there will eventually be a risk of rust, which may be perceived as an attractive feature of ageing.

These maple leaf decorations are lovely for all year round in the garden, hanging from trees or fixed to a wall or fence. They’re even perfect as Christmas tree or mantelpiece decorations - why not hang them inside during the festive season then outside for the rest of the year?

Featuring the quote “The flowers in the garden are a reflection of the stars in the sky,” you won’t fail to be charmed and inspired each time you see it.

The leaves are suitable for outdoor and indoor settings, made with mild steel, with exterior grade powder coating. Over time, if used outside, there will be eventually the risk of rust, which may be perceived as an attractive feature of aging. Otherwise, keep your leaf treated with a metal paint such as hammerite. If used indoors and kept dry, it is unlikely to rust.

‘Love of gardening is a seed once sown that never dies.’

So said Gertrude Jekyll, eminent British horticulturist, garden designer, craftswoman, photographer, writer and artist. And we at Highgrove agree wholeheartedly, which is why we’ve selected this charming garden or indoor decoration for your inspiration.

A stone transom sits above the entrance to the Azalea Walk in the Gardens at Highgrove which bears the inscription, 'The flowers in the garden are a reflection of the stars in the sky’. This inspirational quote has now been recreated on our terracotta wall tile, suitable for indoors or outdoors and produced in the World Heritage city of Bath by a family-run pottery.

Using a unique process, clay is pressed into an intricate mould, designed exclusively for Highgrove. The resulting ceramic is very durable and will last a lifetime when handled with care.
