It is also a great source of frustration for anyone researching his work since only a few of the gardens are identified by location.<br /><br />Ralph built gardens in the UK in the 1920s, 30s and 40s and in the United States in the 1930s. A few are well known - the roof gardens at Derry & Toms in London and the Rockefeller Center in New York, the garden at Twyn-yr-Hydd House in Margam and the rock and water garden he built for Princess Victoria at Coppins, Iver for example.<br /><br />However, the majority of his gardens remain unknown and unrecognized. Part of the purpose of this blog is to collect details of the gardens that he designed in order to create a comprehensive catalog of his works.<br /><br />Ralph was a man of many talents - he also built at least one house and may have designed interiors too.<br /><br />If you have any information regarding a known or possible Ralph Hancock garden or other work please e-mail me at Hancockinfo@gmail.com<br /><em></em><em></em>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com
