Synopsis
It is a small site at the rear of a Victorian Terrace in Waltham Abbey, near Enfield.
Every inch of space has been used and she freely admits to being a plantaholic. The garden is entered via a door to the side of the house, which takes you into a narrow passageway. This is crammed with hanging baskets and containers, mainly with summer bedding. You then enter the main part of the garden consists of a patio area with a wooden table, chairs and parasol. This is surrounded by more containers and baskets with bedding.
Moving on, there is a small circular decorative path, with small perennial borders either side and a lawn with a small birch tree creating a shady area. There is another border and patio area with containers, both with shade tolerant plants.
For a town garden, this is a busy space, with plenty to look at. It is a great example of what can be achieved with a little imagination and small budget.
