Here’s a pair of containers that we supplied for a client’s terrace – right outside the kitchen door – perfect for cooking! Although the containers are only a metre wide and 30cms deep we were able to fit the following hardy herbs in there.
This is a steeply sloping, wide but shallow front garden that we planted last year. Originally turfed and a nightmare to maintain it was a typical new build garden. Poor soil and grass that was struggling. We renewed the soil and stripped off the turf. Then we used new FSC timber sleepers to create mini-tiers. We chose an Amelanchier candanensis as a feature tree against the bare two storey brick wall. It’s a great small tree with lovely blossom as you can see from the pictures, and even better autumn colour.
The rest of the site was planted with a mix of shrubs and herbaceous perennials to give year round interest. Mixed green and blue slate of different grades were used as a deep mulch.

Our client gets a lot of rabbits in their garden but was keen to grow their own fruit, vegetables and flowers for arranging. We built them this large enclosure and planted the fruit last year. Lots of species including summer and autumn raspberries, red, green and yellow gooseberries, red, white and blackcurrants, blueberries and more. Elsewhere in the garden we have planted apples, pears and quinces. All the fruit beds have weed fabric fitted and mulch laid – so no weeds – low maintenance indeed.
This year we’ll be planting vegetables in the enclosure as well as annuals for flower arranging and for inclusion in the ornamental garden elsewhere on the site.
If you’d like to grow your own fruit, vegetables or flowers for cutting, maybe we can help. Contact us here.
Here’s a garden we designed which was built and planted last year. The client had built a contemporary glass garden room and wanted a space built adjacent to it to provide a focal point and an entertaining space. We’ll be back later in the year to take photos of it in full bloom.
You can find the full detail of the design and lots of photos on the design’s page here
