I designed this garden as very passionate about English cottage gardens. I introduced many climbing roses like Dublin bay and James Galway and tall perennials like hollyhocks, Digitalis,. Lobelia cardinals, fuchsia lady boothby, Hydrangea arborescens pinky winky. There was already Hydrangea Annabelle and a hardy fuchsia. In particular the pots were filled with verbena bonariensis, stipa tenuissima, cosmos purity white, euphoria diamond frost, lobelia crystal palace and petunia night sky.
