Padstow Garden Design

 
A new design for a garden in Padstow.  The design incorporates several existing features to be retained, such as a greenhouse, and breathes new life into this garden overlooking the Camel estuary.
 
 
A small illustrative sketch.
 
 
Work on the garden build will start later this autumn.
 

Polzeath Garden

 
The planting in the Polzeath garden has really taken off.  Below the plants when just planted..... 
 
 
Nepeta, Achillia and Helichrysum growing well and flowering in this hot and sunny site...
 
 
Santolina , Stachys and Stipa gigantea starting to fill out...
 

 
Osteospurmums planted beneath a hedge of Olearia to provide colour but also to act as a weed suppressing and flowering mat.


The blue of the Nepeta works beautifully with the fresh green of the artificial lawn (you really can't tell the difference!).
