Revitalising the Planting
Winter is a special time in the garden, revealing a host of texture, colour and structure not seen in other seasons. However, over the years, the Winter Garden has lost its original drama and wow factor.
The planting palette of the new design will help re-capture that magic. Low-level planting will open up vistas across the garden, and new island beds will bring in colour and interest through the use of enchanting drifts of herbaceous planting and grasses. Jo’s design also includes beautiful mature trees – a rare Fraxinus profunda (pumpkin ash), a Catalpa, a stand of birch and Japanese maples – giving the space an instant sense of maturity and presence.
