Planting:

Over 30 trees were planted throughout the garden, including multistem birch, acers, ornamental fruit trees, Japanese maples, sorbus and tree ferns, along with more than 600 perennials, grasses and shrubs to give the garden colour, texture and interest throughout the year.

We designed this garden around the new garden room at the end of the site, but the aim was to make much more of the whole space rather than simply create a route to it.

Because it’s such a large garden, we created a number of different areas to sit and spend time throughout the day. There’s a main terrace for everyone to gather, as well as smaller, more secluded seating areas that give the family different places to use as the sun moves around the garden.

The planting was a huge part of the design. Mature trees, generous beds and layers of softer planting help break up the scale of the garden and make each area feel more intimate. Down at the fire bowl, tree ferns and lush planting create a completely different, almost tropical feel.

The curved gravel paths, low hedging and limestone edging tie everything together, and in the evening the lighting picks out the paths, planting and walls so the garden still looks great from inside the house.

We recently returned to this garden for some top-up garden maintenance. Check out the newest pictures and videos of the garden below in full bloom.
