  Drayton Hall: History of the Landscape   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
When Charles took the Duc on a tour through the garden, he pointed out to him and spoke much, Con Amore, of a little hut in the woods, which is scarcely visible, and a turning in the river.”[31] This commentary points stylistically to there being English naturalistic gardens at Drayton Hall.
Charles “planted broad leaf spinach in the octagon” and “prepared and planted in the first flower bed in the semi-circle.”[34] There was other landscape features mentioned in his diaries, such as a bowling green with terraces.
Charles was never “a successful planter and was beset by both debt and failure.”[42] These factors account for a lack of documentation on Drayton Hall during this period and also the probable decline in the appearance of the landscape and gardens.
