Abundant borders, SE25.





















ABUNDANT BORDERS, SE25
This family garden now has abundant flowering borders where, previously fencing dominated.The clients had recently replaced all the boundary fencing and in this 15 metre long garden and wanted to diguise and soften the fence panels with cottage style planting, height and colour while still keeping a child friendly garden and lawn.We first created borders along the two sides of the garden then filled them tall grasses & flowering perennials such as verbena & achillea contrasted with rounded shrubs such pittosporum & lavender. Softer colours were set against the deep bugundy leaves of heuchera and lime green carex. We also constructed tension wires to support climbing ceanothus, jasmine and wisteria to gradually surround the boundaries in colour - and scent!Two tired looking existing planters were also reinvigorated with zingy colours and grasses.The garden now features more flowers than fence and the space is welcoming for all the family.
Sunny sloped garden, SE19















SUNNY SLOPED GARDEN, SE19
This garden was unloved and on a tricky sloped bank. The client wanted the overall atmosphere to be relaxing and cheerful with tall, colourful planting in the top area which can be seen from the lower patio and the windows of the house. The plant palette consists of bright colours (pinks, purple, yellow) along with tall grasses and a larger shrub to conceal some of the fence at the back left hand side.
Planted up in early spring 2024, we're currently responsible for ongoing maintenance and love seeing how the garden develops over the seasons.
