PROJECTS

project 1

The  client  of  this  terraced  garden  requested  more  winter  structure  and  more  summer  colour.  After  reviewing  the  existing  planting  and  a  discussion  on  colour  and  plant  preferences  I  added  Phormium  "Sundowner",    Nadina    domestica    "Plum  Passion" and  Pittisporum  tenuifolium  "Tom  Thumb"  to  the  top  two    levels    for  structure.  Grasses  and  additional  herbaceous  perennials  were  added  to  the  lower  levels  along  with  summer  bulbs  to  provide  movement  and  colour.  

If you'd like to speak to me about how we could work to implement similar techniques in your own garden then please contact me. 

Project 2

The  client  wanted  suggestions  for  how  to  utilize  a  couple  of  new  beds  in  her  garden  short  term,  as  due  to  other  commitments  the  garden  was  not  ready  for  full  planting.  I  suggested  an  annual  meadow  mix  that  provides  a  season  of  interest  through  to  autumn  when  other  planting  options  would  be  available.  The  mix  was  a  great  success  and  extremely  colourful  from  May  through  to  October.  

project 4

The  client  wanted  some  sympathetic  planting  for  the  small  space  in  front  of  the  cottage.  Lots  of  spring  bulbs  were  used  along  with  roses,  alliums,  irises,  penstemons and  geraniums  to  create  a  classic  cottage  garden  style  of  planting.

project 3

Stage  one  of  a  planting  for  a  local  NHS surgery.  Trees  and  shrubs  have  been  planted  for  structure  and  these  will  be  added  to  this  spring  to  provide  seasonal  interest  for  the  patients  and  staff  at  the  surgery.  Patients  are  growing  seeds  for  the  garden  and  a  community  planting  day  is  currently  being  planned.
