Julian Bannerman

[7] He met his wife Isabel in Edinburgh in the early 1980's and together they ran Bannerman's Bar before buying a semi derelict Wiltshire mansion called The Ivy, where they explored their mutual passion for building restoration and garden design.

[8] In 1989 Julian and Isabel were invited to join a team building a modern grotto under British sculptor Simon Verity at Leeds Castle in Kent.

[11] In 2000 the couple was asked by Simon Sainsbury and Stewart Grimshaw to redesign the Entrance garden and Pleasure Grounds area and enhance the Long Walk at Woolbeding House in Sussex.

[12] They were commissioned in 2001 by Jigsaw founder John Robinson to design and develop the garden at Euridge Manor Farm in Wiltshire, now a sought after wedding venue.

The garden is located in Hanover Square in the Financial District of New York City[15] and commemorates the 67 British victims of the 11 September 2001 attack on the World Trade Center.
