Victorian Townhouse Garden

US$0.00

Greenwich, London

Small moves in this steeply terraced garden created new brick planters for herbs close to the kitchen, new storage built in under the BBQ and to the side of the doors, two new sunny sitting spots and a small veg planter. The new bike shed is painted to match the existing stairs, and will soon be covered by a fragrant trachelospermum, as well as being largely shielded by a new olive tree. The existing hard landscaping was cleaned, repaired, then matched to create the new sofa area & brick planters. The veg planter is in full sun, and provides a particularly enticing spot to relax next to. Existing climbers were incorporated into the design, so that when the new trees and perennials were added the whole garden already looked mature. Evergreens have been provided for year round interest, and the remaining perennials will add a cool white and purple palette, with touches of apricot in every growing season.

‘Catriona’s job was more to curate in this small space, to bring some logic and sense to the jungle of ideas, and to bring compromise when we had different ideas that wouldn’t work together ‘ Alex Petit

“The garden feels like it has always been there; there’s a sense of appropriateness, and with its newly defined areas there’s now a coherence as well as an ease to using the garden – whether that’s having a cup of tea, sunbathing or grabbing some herbs. Catriona’s knowledge of plants and flowers is invaluable – we wouldn’t have known what to put where. It is so good for our wellbeing just taking a moment to breathe out there. We’ve noticed a lot more birds in the garden, and of course our neighbouring squirrels!”
