This historic walled garden was much neglected and over-grown. We created a large contemporary stone terrace with sun loving mediterranean planting. This overlooks sloping borders full of grasses that catch the evening sun and flowering perennials for all year round colour. A pond to one side has a gulley leading down to it with lush ferns and foliage plants.

A stone and brick courtyard with a built-in oak bench creates a cosy social space with scented and tactile plants. A lawn has been shaped to flow from the courtyard, and wildlife friendly planting gives all year round interest. Climbers will cover the fencing in time to create a haven for birds.

Where a dis-jointed garden with lawn and over-grown borders made it unappealing for the owners, now a series of terraces flows down the slope providing spaces to sit, walk and soak up the views. The garden has large pots and urns as focal points and will be planted with sun-loving shrubs and ground cover, to create a mediterranean feel. Landscaping materials have been chosen to complement the architecture of the house.

This garden was created with a team of health professionals and architects. It was made for people with dementia who visit the hospital for respite and recovery. With my experience of designing for people living with dementia, I was able to inform the layout and create a planting scheme with tactile, scented and flowing plants. Spaces have been made for vegetable planting, sitting, socialising and taking part in activities, as well as to walk through and stimulate the senses.

Like many new build houses the garden was left as a blank canvas. A garden was created with a stone terrace surrounded by abundant perennials and climbers. The small lawn was shaped to soften the space and provide flowerbeds with all year interest. An archway and trees add vertical interest to the garden and help to break up the views of houses beyond.
