The brief was to create an enclosure from a main road, bring in nature, a water feature and lush planting and a calm place to sit near the garden pottery studio.

This garden was right on the rural-urban fringe with some unexpected magic!  Hidden behind this huge ‘boundary’ hedge was a woodland bank down to a stream which was actually owned by the client. Removing this enormous hedge revealed the woodland space beyond, which totally opened up the garden and created a transformed space which also incorporated a contemporary pool water feature, a meandering stream down to a large pond, and a relaxed seating space next to it. 

We are so so happy with the result of this garden, which now feels like a lush country garden, rather than a suburban one.
