A Fruitful Garden is an evolution of the company’s Upwardly Mobile Garden from Chelsea 2010, retaining most of the hard landscaping but with some new planting. It demonstrates how a homeowner can develop an existing front garden to reflect their own interests, in this case growing fruit alongside ornamental plants.
A Fruitful Garden includes reclaimed galvanised water tanks that act as features whilst also collecting rainwater for irrigation. The plot is bordered on two sides by a fence of reclaimed metal re-bar and timber posts which are semi-industrial, reflecting the urban location.
