A small narrow south facing garden. The house was remodelled internally just before the garden was constructed and doors were added from both the kitchen and dining room onto the garden opening up the ability to see into the garden from the house .

The client is a keen gardener who requested a wild and natural garden with an abundance of plants, flowers and especially roses for her and her dog to enjoy and to potter around in.

The idea was to make the garden appear wider and to give it height and depth by creating layers of plants across the garden with seating areas at either end and to enjoy the meandering walk from one end to the other in a haze of fragrance and colour. The paths are soft textural clay pavers, natural stone slabs, and pretty thyme or phlox groundcover to soften the gaps. You walk between and amongst plants , tredding on the thyme and releasing the scent amongst air laden with highly scented roses and clematis. The garden is filled with butterifles and insects buzzing with life, an interactive tactile garden where you are up close to the plants and appreciating their beauty!
