Country Life takes a look at George Harrison's career... as a gardener.
The article details how working in the elaborate gardens of his Friar Park Estate, which includes a miniature Matterhorn in an alpine setting, helped George provide a peaceful outlet for his creative frustrations during the Beatles' breakup. Lots of nice pictures, too.
Harrison was 27 years old. His friend Derek Taylor remarked of Friar Park: ‘It is a dream on a hill and it came, not by chance, to the right man at the right time.’ Harrison had enjoyed gardening as a boy — planting and picking his own flowers — and, as an adult, plants appealed to his spiritual sensibilities.
