Garden design for an Environmentalist
This project was very different from the norm. The clients are very keen environmentalists and almost self sufficient with an adjacent allotment. The design was jam packed with everything that the local wildlife will love and new visitors too. The clients are currently digging out the pond by hand! I have great admiration for their strength and determination! The abundance of planting is designed so that there is interest all year round, together with ground cover that will suppress any plants who develop thuggish tendencies! The masterplan was presented in acetate layers so that the client could easily see the seasonal changes and colours, together with a separate aspect calendar showing the plants in a list and instantly seeing when they will bloom or be dormant.
