garden insight

he serene space we have created to the back of this property in London is a natural extension of the house’s modern, open-plan interior. Usable space is maximised by having planters, pots and; is used on a raised planting bed to provide a further sense of lushness and seclusion to the garden. Overall the design is modern and minimalistic in its use of materials but rich in the planting palette. A profusion of white, blue and purple flowers are used in the scheme and the garden is illuminated at night with spotlights under each tree.
