sloping suburban garden

A woodland garden with natural pond

The garden was redesigned to include a natural pond within a woodland setting. The slope of the garden allowed a stream and waterfall to be created with marginal planting. New trellis panelling was installed to hide the existing fence, and a small area of decking was erected on the site of the former compost heap to accommodate an arbour and some large pots of specimen plants next to the conservatory. A dry stone watercourse leads from the pond to a small grove of birch trees underplanted with ferns, Heuchera, drumstick primulas and creeping Jenny. A Japanese style plank bridge crosses the dry stream leading up the slope towards a seat and statue silhouetted against an evergreen hedge. A mixed border on the opposite side of the garden provides inspiration for the artist who lives here.
