Our clients had hectic work schedules and wanted the garden to be a tranquil retreat away from telephones and their busy lifestyles.

Beds of mixed small shrubs and herbaceous perennials surrounded a new flagstone terrace in front of the study. A woodland walk then lead down to the vegetable area. Contouring of the soil each side of the paths increased the organic shapes of the garden. Several new trees were planted to create the woodland effect and naturalising bulbs and woodland carpeting plants were used under shrubs.
