A Small Town Garden

The garden was therefore divided into separate areas or “rooms” each having their own distinct character which counteracted the directional pull of the corridor shape of this long, narrow garden.

The design is anchored by octant shaped paving which provides lots of interesting floor shapes with it’s yellow and grey markings which were chosen to work with the yellow walls of the house. The centre stone was removed and replaced with tile detail, the terracotta colour of which blended with the brick walls in the garden. The Sun Terrace has a cosy, sheltered feel created by the raised beds encompassing it and this also raised the height of the planting to allow an all year round view of the plants. The raised beds were constructed in brick to tie in with the existing brick boundary walls. An archway at the entrance to the second area of the garden frames the view of the garden and has been clothed in scented climbing plants. The winding path between the raised beds is made from the Octant segments and set against slate chippings provides a good contrast, adding further interest and texture. At the end of this area is an avenue of dwarf conifers leading the eye to a focal point at the far end of the garden.

The side passage has been paved with the inner segments of the Octant set in a pattern which draws the eye from side to side thereby adding movement which has been inter-planted with shade tolerant leafy ferns adding further interest to this small area.
