A naturalistic planting focussed front garden

The front garden was a gravel parking space for over two decades. With the owner no longer needing a car, the focus shifted towards creating a visually appealing and inviting space. The goal was to provide a delightful view for the owner and encourage her to spend more time engaging with neighbours passing by.

The resulting naturalistic garden achieved these objectives and increased biodiversity. A low maintenance design and drought-tolerant plants, the well considered selection of flowing grasses and long flowering perennials not only captivated the customer but also drew admiration from passers by.
