Design
Brief
The space for consideration
was part of a large country garden and resided over solid chalk with a
hillside view. Planting needed to be low maintenance and able to
survive periods of drought and exposure to all that the elements could
throw at it. In keeping with the rural location, the plants had to be not
only capable of providing seasonal colour but also give a hint of the
Kentish landscape around it.
