Above. We have been asked to design both front and rear areas of this south facing garden near Teignmouth, Devon. The clients, both sun lovers, requested a Mediterranean style garden on the steep slope to the rear of the house. The build is now complete and the planting is in progress.
Aliums make a dramatic impact
Above. 100 aliums were planted down the path of a large walled garden in Abbotskerswell. Cost of the bulbs: £18 at trade prices.
This stunning, unusual but easy bulb, flowers in March and April. It produces tall, stately spires with numerous flower heads. The variety ‘Lutea’ is golden yellow, ‘Orange Brilliant’ is orange tinted with brown, and ‘Rubra Maxima’ is red (sorry, no photos).
The build of this front garden to a charming, picture-perfect, thatched cottage in Shaldon is almost complete. Only the new wrought-iron gate and railings have yet to be fitted. In the new year cottage garden planting will begin in ernest.
The gate has arrived. Designed by Naila and built by Paul Gilbert (Blacksmith) especially for the garden. The name of the house is the inspiration for the design. For reasons of client confidentiallity we can not reveal the actual name of the house.
