    Episode 322: Hop in the terrarium time machine… we're going back to the sixties!

    08/07/2026 | 17 mins.
    Come with me to Broad Chalke in Wiltshire on a sunny summer's day in the early 1960s as we explore SIr Cecil Beaton's Winter Garden at his home Reddish House. 
    Want to see images of the Winter Garden at Reddish House? Start here. For images of how it looks today, check out this page, where you'll also see photographs of some of Beaton's famous friends at Reddish.

    Cecil Beaton produced some of the most iconic photography of the twentieth century. Learn more about his work here.

    Architectural Digest really did visit Reddish House in the 1960s!
