Jarman was one of the most important artists and gay rights activists of his generation, making groundbreaking avant-garde films such as Sebastiane, Caravaggio and Jubilee that garnered plaudits for their unabashed homoerotic power. Since he died of an Aids-related illness in , his cottage and garden have become a site of pilgrimage for art students, architects and garden designers, but the house has never been open to the public, which makes this exhibition all the more welcome. Those who have visited Dungeness will be familiar with the very un-English prospect of encountering a private garden without a fence. Regulations in the protected nature reserve mean that fences are mostly forbidden, so property boundaries remain blurred. Plans are in the works for a permanent public programme that will include residencies for artists, academics, writers, film-makers and gardeners, along with small tours by appointment. A room next door shows clips from his films featuring the awesome Dungeness landscape, its huge skies and dramatic cloud formations recorded in flickering high speed on his Super 8 camera , along with scenes of the artist potting out his latest specimens and carefully arranging rocks into mystical circles. As every film-maker knows, a good deal of fakery is essential to the magic. Diagnosed with HIV in , Jarman saw his Dungeness garden as an escape, crafted and nurtured in the face of his own impending mortality. Obsessed with flowers since he was a boy, Jarman dreamed of a magical rose garden emerging from the arid shingle. His parents had given him the illustrated manual, Beautiful Flowers and How to Grow Them, for his fourth birthday, and he spent his youth making little gardens, winning a prize at boarding school for his plot. Prospect Cottage was the first time he had the chance to make an entire garden of his own from scratch, and he began with 30 rose plants, brought to the coast from a nursery in Kensington. Most of the roses withered. The sticks would then be adorned with with flotsam scavenged on his daily beach-combing walks, from chains and anchors to sea-smoothed bricks and sun-bleached crab shells. And so the garden grew, plants sprouting where the wind blew their seeds. A replica of a crucifix-like wooden navigation tower from the Dungeness beach looms over the whole scene, in a suitably Jarmanesque touch beneath the stained glass windows.

I was very sad when he died a couple of years back. Dungeness is a very special place. You can almost smell the brine! As an experimental filmmaker, Jarman was used to dealing with problems imaginatively and using artifice to make magic. He buried compost beneath the shingle surface of the beach to create the illusion that plants appear to be growing from the pebbles. More conventionally, he began his garden with thirty rose plants, transported to Dungeness from a nursery in Kensington. A poppy, a crow, the nuclear power plant — all drift in and out of focus. A tall, white-robed figure is framed by pylons. Jarman, silhouetted, waters his plants, giving life to the land even as it ebbs from him. The sea glitters in the distance. Everything dissolves into light. Open journals record not only the progress of the garden but his love for his partner, Keith Collins, his musings on sex, death and the environment, the shabby failings of modern culture, the horror of friends dying from AIDS, and the terrifying inevitability of his own demise. The natural world was evidently a profound distraction: the open drawers of his large wooden desk reveal not pens and paper but a collection of beach stones.

Before he died, Collins set up a trust to preserve the property. The campaign raised the funds in just 10 weeks, with more than 8, crowdfunding donations, and substantial contributions from trusts and foundations, and from the artist David Hockney.

Among the flowers and shrubs he planted were dog rose, lovage, Mrs Sinkins pinks, marigold, santolina, marigold, valerian and bright golden orange California poppies. Sea kale, Crambe maritima, like elsewhere in Dungeness, seems to love the shingle out of which it flowers, seeds, shrivels, dries out and blows away in the wind every year. The flowers then turn into seeds — which look like a thousand peas. He planted gorse shrubs on each side of the house with a baulk of timber in their centres. The stones he usually found after a storm. It did have magic — the magic of surprise, the treasure hunt. I read the book after my first visit in June.

I like that there are no fences around it but I too would be worried about accidentally trespassing. Beautiful pictures and I loved hearing the story. I visited Dungeness years ago in my early 20s for a romantic weekend with a boyfriend I was loopy about at the time.
