That's a very good point about needing a strong structure. I totally understand that.
I guess my comment was more about the length and perhaps the depth of the structure itself in relationship to the surroundings. And the style of it - when you consider that other thing she bought at Chelsea, which is a totally different style and I believe will be in the vicinity of this pergola, with an ornate fountain under it, I'm not sure what she is trying to achieve design-wise in that walled garden.
I know there are mixed feelings (most not positive, which I totally understand) about the Strawbridges, but despite how anyone might feel about the people themselves, I love what they've achieved with their walled garden. It's a working garden and is beautiful. It's cohesive, it is decorative, and it is a functioning vegetable and fruit garden.
