Planting Design 3 - Hemingford Abbots

The client already has a very established garden filled with many shrubs and trees. They were redesigning their drive and had created some new borders that needed to blend in with the current setting but also provide some new interest and update the style of planting. It’s a sheltered and fairly shaded area surrounded by a laurel hedge.

Planting Design 4 - Hemingford Abbots

The client has a fairly mature garden already but wanted to update the border with a fresh, more unified look. They wanted to use some of their existing plants, Ferns & Hostas but lose the mass of Geraniums and Pulmonaria that had taken over. The design is for an East Facing Border, partial shade, full shade at times. Soil pH about 6.5 - 7.0, Sandy Loam.

Planting Design 5 - WGC

The planting for Welwyn Garden City wanted to be modern but not too minimalist. It’s more structured around the entertaining area near to the house and then moves into more loose and informal perennial planting with grasses and some structure around the lawn for a relaxed and delicate feel. Around the studio the planting is Asian inspired with grasses, bamboos and architectural forms.

They were after a garden that they wanted to feel connected to, that they could enjoy entertaining in and that was both informal and inviting.
