A contemporary, naturalistic planting plan for this substantial Edwardian country house garden with incredible views over the Weald of Kent gives the new owners seasonal colour, interest and movement in the garden whilst the mix of drought tolerant, Mediterranean style plants ensures that they are able to fully enjoy their garden and not spend all summer having to water it.
A new circular seating area directs views across the landscape whilst providing an intimate space and ensuring guests feel safe and enveloped by the planting. Deep borders of nepeta lead down to the refurbished pool area and large arbutus, amelanchier and cypress trees provide a sense of maturity and anchor the planting.
