This garden has been designed to create an informal area in which to relax whilst surrounded by scented Mediterranean-style planting.

Mediterranean-style planting needs a light, free-draining soil, the opposite of the conditions present in this garden where the soil is moist and water retentive. To enable the planting to flourish, a raised area has been built using natural stone and free-draining soil.

An outdoor fireplace creates a focal point, surrounded by contemporary furniture. The boundaries are made from woven oak fencing, softened by silver birch planted in rusty steel containers.
 

Expert commentary by Chris Young & Phil Clayton, The Garden magazine

Framing the garden at the back are many white-stemmed silver birch which create a dappled shade backdrop. Then by the rill there are pink persicaria and rodgersia. Most successful part is the shady plants - red-leaved trifolium, clumps of saxifrage and Podophyllum 'Spotty Dotty', which is almost reptilian in appearance.
