Itās been much asked for, so here it is - my plant list for year round colour, interest, and structure. Do scroll through for a drawn plan of the garden too as, like the plant list, a lot of people have been asking for recently.
Natural abundance underpins the design of the garden. A path snakes down the garden through oversized beds - slowing the journey and inviting the opportunity to immerse oneself within nature. The planting deliberately spills over the paths, softening the edges and bringing a tactile element to it. The garden is planted for seasonal interest and was built with sustainability in mind - repurposing many elements. It is also planted to be drought tolerant. I donāt water it, aside from plants in pots and anything thatās recently been planted.
Many elements are repeated throughout the garden to give it a sense of cohesiveness and flow. Evergreen shrubs and ornamental grasses form the backbone of the garden, with bulbs, perennials, self seeding annuals and tubers offering seasonal interest.
Three of the oversized beds are planted with an Amenlanchiar lamarkii, each bed has different perennial partnerships but the same structural plants. The fourth bed in front of the shed is planted with roses, lavender and Stipa gigantea to softly obscure the shed.
Planting list follows in a pond post.
