The gardens, once a source of inspiration for Paul and John Nash reflected a sense of mystery and enchantment that influenced their artistic work. John’s interest in gardening flourished later in life, while both brothers frequently drew from the natural beauty surrounding their childhood home. The garden at Wood Lane House and its surrounding landscape featured in several drawings/paintings by both John and Paul. It was an ideal subject as they lived there during their formative teenage years prior to WWI. They both took their inspiration from the natural world, Paul concentrating on landscape and later John on botanical drawing. For both brother’s trees were a recurring theme.
