Between the lines

A sequence of geometric green spaces and lush borders in Tom Deacon’s stunning country garden leads from one magical surprise to another Photos by Tom Deacon

Although focusing on sculpture now, Deacon earned his stripes during 15 years as one of Canada’s most famous furniture designers. His Tom Chair is a modern classic. It is a relaxed but elegant design, and sculptural in its own right—just like his garden. For Deacon, the garden is not only an extension of all his design ideas, but also an essential background to his life and something he feels strongly about philosophically. **The sun gilds the spiky flower heads of ‘Hameln’ dwarf fountain grass**
