The Haven
This contemporary small garden is a quiet haven, taking inspiration from a cyclist’s journey through lush local countryside.
On entering the garden, the eye is drawn to a timber arbour with a bubble seat hanging from the green roof above, backed by a sloping yew hedge. Water bubbles up gently through loose cobbles underneath a beautiful snake-bark maple tree.
Planting in the garden is naturalistic and wildlife-friendly, with swathes of soft ornamental grasses mingling with airy umbellifers, thistles, daisies and cranesbills rambling through an open-work sculptural planter set to one side.
