This is the front garden of a gorgeously renovated period home in a picturesque village setting. A simple landscaping design was implemented by the builders. A sandstone path links the front door to the gate and a snaking pea gravel path with rustic sawtooth brick edging crosses the garden from left to right, connecting the driveways at either side.

​

The garden already had three beautiful mature camellias trained against the house wall and two acers. Hydrangeas and azaleas were added to the shady part of the garden and a low box hedge was planted either side of the curving path do give yea round structure. The rest of the area was filled with a joyfully eclectic mix of herbaceous perennials and self seeding annuals for an abundant cottage garden feel.
