Mediterranean Chalk Garden

as featured on BBC Radio Kent

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.

Alliums and gold Philadelphus
