These wonderful clients wanted some inspiration injecting into their long rectangular plot, with an inclination towards mediterranean and soft planting ideas. We used organic lines that subtly shift the gaze diagonally across the space, opening up new vistas and discovering elements as one ventures down the garden. A 'living pergola' of four White Mulberries trained into a flat roof shape make for a perfect gathering spot in summer with it's dappled light, and just further along a rill gurgles towards a sunken seating area at the end of the garden. Planting includes Deschampsia grasses, Vitex, and rare Valeriana pyrenaica.
