A
front garden is a public garden - it is the one that you, your
visitors, the postman, milkman and dustman all walk through
regularly. It provides the perfect challenge to come up with a
scheme that provides interest throughout the year but is also low
maintenance, as you don't particularly want to garden in the
public eye. |

Example: The Front Garden
|
|
This
project was particularly fascinating as the house was a barn
conversion and what was to be the front garden had previously been
where the cows had been milked. Our aim was to design a front
garden, which enhanced the individual character of the property,
and provide a welcome to visitors. A split level pool provides
sound and is an interesting focal point when driving or walking
towards the front door; it is also the main view from indoors when
walking down the staircase. A great deal of foliage plants were
used in the scheme with an emphasis placed on contrasting leaf
textures and scent; only the seasonal baskets need any regular
attention.
