About forty years ago I used to spend my summers in a residence in the Cantabrian village of Mazcuerras. The La Peñiga estate was on the hilly slopes outside the village, and I was always particularly attracted to it because of its wonderful trees, which I later learned were due to the fact that the estate had originally been a nursery. In the 1980s, when I heard that it was for sale, I rushed to buy it. It should be noted that when I did so, it was just a hill, with a small stone wintering ground that we still have. La Peñiga had the two requirements I considered necessary to make a great garden: the slope and the water. I began by planting the trees of the species I was most interested in, and at the same time I started, with the invaluable help of a great friend, the construction of the first phase of our current wooden house. During the following years, my wife and I made a series of trips to England and the United States, visiting their great gardens. And with all the information gathered, we began the first plantings and the construction of the ponds, and at the same time the extension of the house.
