This was one of the first gardens I ever designed, but its abundant planting and sheer prettiness mean it will always be one of my favourites.
This garden needed a serious injection of personality! The tarmac drive continued right round the back of the house and was a particular eyesore.
The whole space was re-modelled to take you on a journey from the moment you enter through the gate.
A sandstone path now leads to the front door, which is flanked by potted box balls. Abundant cottage-style planting runs throughout to fill and soften the space.
As you turn the corner you’re presented with an inviting view of a lounging area enclosed by a circular pergola. Roses, foxgloves, alliums and stachys dominate the bed in the foreground.
