Cantilevered benches in Wandsworth

Sunday, 09 July 2017 by caroline
This was a typical small fairly overgrown garden.  And considering it was small it had a mass of heavy large mature shrubs in it all which had become overgrown and ‘woody’.  It was time for a change so with a very simple garden design we created an immediate sense of space, clean lines and good

Raised bed planting in Wimbledon

Sunday, 09 July 2017 by caroline
This garden in Wimbledon had two long raised beds on either side – one side receiving a mass of sunshine and the other side fairly shady so the planting had to reflect that. Here are some of the plants we used: The colour palette was whites/greens, pinks, soft purples, bright and soft blues:  lavenders, nepetas,

An Italian garden in Clapham

Sunday, 22 May 2016 by caroline
Italian garden in Clapham This was a hard landscaped garden which was not only uncared for but also had suffered the rigours of an Alsatian puppy’s activities throughout the Spring!  It was really looking more like a back yard!  The owner wanted to transform it into a lighter, more private and welcoming space – in

How contemporary sculpture mixes with New Vintage

Monday, 16 June 2014 by caroline
How contemporary sculpture mixes with New Vintage I visited my friend Emma last week-end in Faversham, Kent.  You walk through the front door of her “town” house, through the house and very quickly find yourself in a small haven in the back garden which is hard-landscaped built on stone and broken up by lush planting

How to create a vista in a typical town garden

Sunday, 08 June 2014 by caroline
How to create a vista in a typical town garden A vista or the feeling of space and distance in a relatively small garden is ambitious but achievable.  Even in a 10 acre site getting the proportions and balance is exacting so in a fairly typical London long and narrow garden this can be difficult

Wandsworth garden – finished!

Friday, 06 July 2012 by caroline
Here is a  South London garden, based in Wandsworth, needing quite a bit of work doing! The house itself has been beautifully developed and the young couple, with small baby, have now decided it is time to sort out the garden, after the builders’ rubble.  They are north-west facing which is not ideal as the

Another South London garden – now finished

Thursday, 05 July 2012 by caroline
This is actually a really lovely garden  as it is nice and wide, although this photo doesn’t do it justice.  The terrace and steps near to the house were already in place and were destined to stay so our job was to give the main garden a facelift and to also attempt to camouflage the

Hot planting in Wandsworth

Thursday, 28 June 2012 by caroline
This is a tiny garden that we designed in Wandsworth – it was an unbelievable mess (after builders had transformed the house)  and had to be designed for low maintenance as tennants were moving in and they were not interested in gardening!  We decided to concentrate on putting in very good paving, York stone steps
