The brief for this garden at an Edwardian house in Ealing, was to include a new garden building, and create space to incorporate some of the owners' sculptural pieces.
A narrow terrace outside the building at the sunny end of the garden, has enough room for two adirondack chairs, and a curved path leads between here and the
existing deck at the back of the house.
Blue limestone was used for the path and terrace, and black limestone setts for a wide strip at the end of the lawn; this creates a place for
a concrete sphere light on the left hand side, and runs through the planting on the right. Small LED lights were installed in a random layout
in the joints between limestone setts.
A glass bird bath is set amongst low grasses in the widest area of planting.
The planting includes a mix of shrubs, perennials, grasses and ferns for year round interest, including Viburnum, Ribes, Hydrangea, roses, box, Agapanthus, geraniums and grasses.
