The first 6 months of 2015 have been great, we have been extremely busy and a phone call from the ITV producer of Alan Titchmarsh’s garden makeover programme ‘Love Your Garden’ was an unexpected bonus! The producer was interested in one of the gardens on my website & was looking to use it as an example of how their project garden might look once finished.
The consultation & design stage of a large number of gardens were completed during the winter and in April building work started on the first one, a large country garden near Taunton. Part of the design included a large curved border which was planted with grasses, perennials and 3 lollipop half standards, in a year or so the plants will have filled out and the border will look stunning with a range of shape, colour & texture.
Since then the landscaping team have also completed, amongst others a contemporary roof garden and terrace, these small bare spaces were crying out for plants so we used stylish containers planted with bamboos, lush evergreens for all round interest and a few select perennials for colour.
We have recently completed the hard landscaping of a couple of small town gardens in Taunton & Wellington, and country gardens in Wells & Bridgwater. We are very much looking forward to a busy autumn of planting, which transforms these spaces into gardens and is the icing on the cake!
