In one of our clients' gravel garden there was a disused water rill, which we turned into a real focal point by planting it with evergreen ferns and agapanthus. By planting hostas and acers in pots, and adding grasses to the borders, we shifted focus and provided movement across this shady space.
For another client we created a planting scheme which wrapped around their front bay window, giving them year-round evergreen structure as well as seasonal bursts of colour for spring and summer.
