Will Quarmby was runner-up in the RHS National Young Designer of the Year 2010 competition. He has created a beautiful garden for a family who require a low maintenance space in which to relax and entertain.
Heathers in Harmony is arranged over three levels, creating separate areas within, all brought together by a wall made entirely out of heather. Dry-stone walling runs the length of the two lower levels, acting as a backdrop to the range of heathers that provide year-round flower and foliage colour. The garden also provides a home for the bumblebee, an important pollinating insect that is sadly in decline. Heathers are bee-friendly plants and provide bees with essential food.
