northamptonshire country garden

With well established structural elements such as yew topiary and espaliered pears, we have looked to update this glorious garden for its new residents with new seating areas, a cut flower and vegetable garden and large new borders to the front and rear of the house.

The maintenance schedule, developed with the client’s gardeners, ensures that perennials are left standing throughout winter to provide year round interest as well as habitats for wildlife. Strips of the lawn are left to grow long, with a rich tapestry of wildflowers coming through at different times of year.

To the front of the house a new wrought iron fence and Ilex crenata hedge create a light and soft new boundary. A subtle new lighting scheme throughout complements the soft, textured planting as does the antique furniture.
