MARKET TOWN GARDEN
We have just finished developing this wonderful garden for our clients in a Hertfordshire Market Town.
We have just finished developing this wonderful garden for our clients in a Hertfordshire Market Town.
Our clients have a beautiful home nestled in the Hertfordshire countryside. The restored barn is part of a new development and looks out onto the woodland beyond. Their large, open garden was laid to lawn with post and rail fencing bordering the neighbouring properties.
So, we worked on creating some layering in the garden to frame the views, keeping our clients' interest within their own garden. Organic, sweeping planting borders now wraparound the dining deck and break up the expanse of lawn, creating journeys through the space.
We also created a new seating area to catch the afternoon sun, which is nestled within planting and tall grasses for privacy and seasonal interest, as well as.a growing area complete with raised beds, a greenhouse and a cold frame, all looking onto a new loose orchard

"The design and planting were imaginative and perfect for our barn garden. From the initial meeting to the final planting, the process was well managed and went smoothly. The garden is beautiful and fills us with joy every day." Mrs R, Hertfordshire
An extended wooden deck allows for more relaxed dining, wraparound beds envelope the space and gaps in the planting invite you out onto the lawn.
And planting, as always, softens all of the lines and provides a wonderful textural feel to the space, bringing seasonal interest and year round structure. In this garden particularly we have used native hedging to frame the back of the new seating area which is repeated along the post and rail fencing. Statement specimens, oversized pots and a new water feature provide some wonderful focal points, providing movement, sound and colour.

With our clients' permission, we thought it might be interesting to show the space's journey, from its old layout and tired hard landscaping to the finished garden
