WOODBRIDGE

Suffolk

THE CLIENT BRIEF:

To create a garden that divided the 3 acre space to make it look smaller. Provide flowers, grasses, trees, and all year round interest.
 

THE GARDEN: 

The existing large slate patio was taken up and relayed to look as though it had exploded away from the house, leaving planting spaces next to the house for shade-loving plants.

 

Three simple larch arches lead from a downstairs room towards two interlinked circular beds. These are separated by a curved log wall made from a felled eucalyptus tree. The beds are planted with various grasses; Agapanthus, Sedum and other drought-tolerant plants.

 

Further away from the house, a large number of Birch, Hawthorn, and other tree species were planted to create a wood that the clients can wander through and find a place to sit in the shade. Wildflowers were added in to augment the sparse grass that grows in the very sandy soil.
