The clients wanted the corners of this rectangular plot to disappear, so a pergola on the diagonal creates a gateway into a garden room for the swing-seat, which disguise the corner spot.
A curving path winds its way around the garden so the clients can walk through every part of the garden and access all the planting beds.
A curving lawn lies at the heart of the garden.
A vegetable garden has been created down an offshoot from the main garden. The pergola, for a vine and golden hop, creates the gateway into the garden, and an olive tree helps to divide off this separate space.
The clients wanted a cottage garden style planting scheme...
Yellow flowered Phlomis, purple Salvia and Euphorbia mellifera, with Phormium in the background...
Nepeta and Iris...
Yellow flowered Achillea...
Climbing, Shrub and Species Roses...
Pale lavender flowered Salvia...
Allium Christophii...
The planting has thrived as the clients made sure they watered regularly throughout the really hot weather.
Even the little pond by the house is starting to look like its always been there.
On a recent visit the clients expressed their delight with the finished result - a beautiful garden to work in and enjoy all year round.
