PUTNEY NEW BUILD

An exotic new garden has been created from the developer’s legacy – a small plot of rubble covered with lawn surrounded by high fencing.

The client’s New Zealand heritage is evoked with a tree fern, phormium, flax, pittosporum and muehlenbeckia. The sundowner seat is backed by polished steel strips mirroring the bamboo screening. Further interest and depth are provided by chunky raised beds overflowing with palm, fig, jasmine, canna and ginger lilies. The conservatory looks out on Japanese maples and anemones, ferns, loquat and fatsia.

The tone is set at the front with ornamental grasses and phormium catching the wind and sun.
