The addition of the pergola and deck (where once there was a cramped ugly tiled porch) add to the appeal. A combination of drought tolerant perennials flourish here including Salvia leucantha, clipped Browalia and Gaillardias. The metal obelisks support floxgloves and delphiniums in spring.

The three garden spaces (Front, Passageway and Rear) capture a sense of the Mediterranean, with a colour scheme inspired by the client's trips to Saint-Tropez : Straw yellow walls and Olive green timber detailing contrast with the red brickwork of the house : reflected in the brick herringbone and edging details experienced underfoot at ground level. Accessed through a passageway of Wisteria trained pergola arches with woodland planting in shade beneath, a series of tall cylindrical Italian terracotta pots planted with buxus balls, formally line the decorative York Stone and brick- edged path; passing the stone arched main front door towards a dramatic bespoke con-cave gated entrance : a threshold to a bright and reflective space.

This traditional front garden in North London was redesigned and planted as a part of a whole house renovation. The lines of Yew cones create an impressive focal point and guide visitors towards the front door. The largely evergreen planting scheme is designed for the shady conditions and will provide year round interest in the garden.

A small garden space has been transformed into a romantic rose garden with cottage style perennials. A pocket handkerchief lawn features a vintage wrought iron garden seat, flanked by wrought iron obelisks which feature climbing roses and old fashioned sweet peas. Stepping stones lead their way into each border so the roses and perennials can be enjoyed close up. Box hedging keep the edges neat and the plants contained. Across a small pebble path, a third border provides more space for larger perennials and a tree hung with bird feeders invites wild birds into the garden. Although the focus for summer is on roses, dahlias are a feature of late summer with a multitude of flowering bulbs in the spring. In winter the garden holds its form through the hedging and topiary plants, including dwarf standard stone fruit trees and pittosporum balls.
