Who doesn’t love a bit of purple? That’s what I call real flower power from Salvia ‘Caradonna’ & Geranium ‘Rozanne

Bringing the outside in for this 1st floor flat. Precarious planting by reaching out of huge bi-fold windows. But well worth the effort!
Mr & Mrs G are thrilled with their new green view! The Nandina ‘Obsessed’ guarantees blasts of year round colour. Irrigation tankers have been installed to make going on holiday hassle free too. 😉

It's all about contrast and texture. That's what creates a planting scheme that sings!

The long border by the swimming pool has been planted out. With a new picket fence stained to blend with the pool house, an amazing array of plants are now in place.
Cercis canadensis 'Forest Pansy' takes centre stage inbetween two majestic bay trees, followed by Hibiscus 'Pink Chiffon', Anemone, Astelia, Azalea, Choisya, Daphne, Euphorbia, Fatsia, Heuchera, Liriope, Miscanthus, Pittopsorum 'Irene Paterson' & 'Tom Thumb', Salvia 'Caradonna', Sambucus 'Black Beauty', Stipa 'Pony Tails & Tiarella 'Pink Skyrocket'.
The new lawn edge will complete the new look.
I say let the swimming season begin!

One year on & it's truly inspiring when a client sends you a photo update from their garden.
Unsolicited & simply because they are so happy with the display.
Right plant - right place.

Happy to be back out there after my brush with Covid.
Spring beauty always brings out a smile even though its cold. Brrrrrr

A room with a perfect view!
This very large container is now filled with low-maintenance, textured & colourful planting.
An added bonus of buried irrigation tanks makes this a trouble-free vista from a 1st floor flat. It’s very own miniature garden.
