| The garden has been inspired by the interior designer Linda Barker's London garden. It has been designed for a couple 45+, who want a garden with a contemporary feel and one where they can indulge their interest in plants. There is space to entertain grown up family and friends and relax on curved outdoor sofas. It is an urban garden with a pleached hornbeam hedge framing two boundaries. The planting reflects the clients interest in plants and uses a palette that is primarily lime green, acid yellows, white and green with touches of purple. |
