Not mine I'm afraid - but we can all dream I suppose !

taken @ Chelsea 2007.

Brilliant wild planting and interesting pergola's on the sides. No timber - just steel.


Chelsea 2007 again.

Nice path - designer has created a 'jouney for your eyes' and I really like the use of pastle shades in the planting.


 Ok, Back to Earth, I suppose !

Next lot of pictures are all the same garden, as I've split it up into different themes and area's. As you may see the soils and conditions change the further we go down the garden, so instead of fighting 'Mother Nature', I've 'gone with the flow' and with the clients input created a Bog Garden. 

 


Curved Bed and some trellis work highlights the blossom tree. Trellis halfway down splits the garden a bit and create's much needed instant height. 

Gravel path creates another journey and I've made a wheel edged bed out of some old bricks we found.

Now the fun bit !

A real Bog Garden that should do really well.

I've made it wildlife friendly and in a year or so the pond ( or small Rill ) will be a haven for Fogs to sporn in. 


Same garden - now looking back up towards the house.

To shield to Bog Garden I've built a dry stone wall using all the old bricks / stone we found while doing this garden. Just tidies it all up.


Hedges can be quite useful !

This one is a few years old but the client keeps it well clipped and quite low. She wanted to shield the small front garden but didn't want anything too hard ( like a stone wall / timber fence ) in case she banged the car door against it.

Evergreen Laurel sorted it. I just clip it twice a year.
