Garden Brief
This garden was designed for a young family moving into a new home development in West Sussex, and was essentially a blank canvas for us to work with. The garden would primarily be used to relax and provide the children with space to play, and needed to be child-safe. A space for sitting in the sun is provided by low feature walls, which can also be used as a space for entertaining and barbecues. The planting was selected to provide year-round interest and structure by combining plants with mixed textures and evergreen species.
"I would like to say how impressed we are with the show house garden. The design appears to be just right for the target market and achieves a great transition from the kitchen / breakfast room into the garden. Comments have been very positive from all parties and the opening was a great success."
David Orchin, Sales Director, David Wilson Homes
