Synopsis
At only 9 x 6 meters, Nick and Douglas wanted to divide the garden into three distinct ‘zones’ and create the illusion of a much larger and more interesting space. This was achieved by taking the owner on a journey from the raised upper terrace to a lower area with a circular lawn that leads on to an expansive dining and entertaining zone that runs the entire width of the garden.
The planting is designed to give year-round interest and colour, with spring bulbs giving way to Alliums and Foxgloves, with Verbena, ornamental grasses, Clematis, Honeysuckle and hardy Geraniums in the summer and wonderful white Japanese Anemones flowering into the late autumn. Evergreen interest is in abundance with the tree ferns as well as Heucheras, Euphorbias, Box balls, Yew, evergreen ferns, fan palms, Olive trees and evergreen climbers.
