It is such a treat to return to a garden I have designed, to see how my clients have either interpreted my plans for themselves - or followed them to the letter.
This gorgeous urban garden went from being a blank canvas, to filling out with strong structure and form by the following year. Gardens, as we know, get better and better with age. These photos were taken 1 and 2 years after they were planted.
My client wanted roses, hedges, year-round interest, colour and to screen surrounding rooflines, and she has done a superb job of developing (and maintaining) the gardens. It looks stunning today.

REAR GARDEN - Camellias, Cherry Trees, Hydrangeas and box hedging provide
year round structure and seasonal interest. |

VEGETABLE GARDEN - The vegetable garden now has concrete paving
and a seating area (not shown), with a picking garden against the house. |
