Inspiration for your Balcony
Planting through the Seasons
Spring
Let joyful spring bulbs greet you after the depths of winter have passed
Summer
Chill out enveloped by colour and lushness that loves the sun (or shade)
Autumn
Clever choice of plants that keep performing for you from summer into autumn, like this Hydrangea paniculata 'Little Lime' (top right) which changes colour from cream to berry-pink
Winter
Look out of your window on a winter's morning and see not emptiness but frosted beauties like this Christmas rose (Hellaborus niger) in December
Accessorizing your Patio
Whilst full garden makeovers definitely have the big WOW factor, it is often more realistic and economical for most of us to add to our gardens little by little as you and the space evolves over time.
This is where accessories in a garden can really help bring freshness to your outdoor space, and make it yours functionally and aesthetically.
I will be sympathetic to your garden and planting style to help curate a choice of quality garden furniture, accessories or artisanal feature pots available to garden designers to bring you a cohesive design for your patio and garden beyond.
Inspiration for your Roof Terrace
Planting through the Seasons
Spring
Enjoy the space that a terrace allows for different spring bulbs to appear in succession. Here, Allium 'Sensation' brings pops of joy and echoes the purple rim of the exquisite Iris in the background
Summer
Eat al fresco or chill out on different areas of your terrace, zoned by verdant lushness that is still possible with drought-tolerant planting
Autumn
Careful plant choices that tolerate the heat of summer to sing with colour in autumn, like this hot pink Echinacea
Winter
Tough evergreens like Rosemary (Rosminarus officinalis), Dwarf Mountain Pine (Pinus Mugo) and a multistemed tree (Osmanthus burkwoodii) help provide structure, greenery and form, to cushion the harshness of paved terraces in winter
