Description
St Joseph's Garden is a modest tribute to the late Cardinal Basil Hume (1923-99), Archbishop of Westminster, monk and shepherd. The garden was designed by young landscape gardener Simon-Peter Stobart, whose influences included Japanese design and one of the themes from the Song of Songs in the Bible - an enclosed garden in which the Beloved might be encountered and experienced.
