Vas Karpetas is a hairdressing salon owner who lives in London with his partner Jason. His garden measures 27m by 5.5m and when they first moved here five years ago it was what Vas describes as “a bit of a wasteland, mostly covered in grass that seemed to be used mainly by the previous owner’s dog”. Over time he has transformed the space into a hydrangea-filled, formal-style garden where many of the plants are grown from cuttings. He shares his growing journey on social media as @myformalgarden. We asked him how he designed the garden and what his top tips are for growing the best hydrangeas.
