A garden designed to make the most of the unused middle of the garden, which was previously a patchy unloved lawn. The design creates three distinct seating areas linked through the positioning of the Beehive pot water feature which acts as a focal point visible from all three spaces. The existing terrace remains in situ with a planting bed added across both ends of the terrace to create layers of informal naturalistic grasses and perennials at different heights to partially hide sections of the garden. As you walk around you discover an enclosed central space for seating or dining, with a path leading around the corner to a further seating space in the evening sun at the back of the garden. The ground here is covered with an evergreen mat forming blue star creeper with paving slabs set amongst it.

The existing bay, hornbeam and acer act as the structural elements in the garden and low planting such as evergreen grasses or hedges create barriers in key locations.

This is less than a year after planting so it needs time to fill out and mature but already you can see the improvement!
