stunning exotic and contemporary garden designs for the cooler climate
|
| This project is designed around a fabulous contemporary extension taking advantage of the huge expanses of glass to open the house to the garden has been featured in many publications. The large lawn is bordered by exotic beds planted with palms, bamboos, ferns and other flamboyant foliage. Even though the planting is new, the extensive use of mature trees and shrubs like the groves of 6 metre phyllostachys vivax bamboos imported from Italy or the 4 metre trachycarpus fortunei palms imported from Spain, gives an impression that the garden has been there forever. Hard landscaping includes a decking path running the length of the garden, a jacuzzi surrounded with jungle foliage and a polished stone patio with an unusual water feature. Whilst geared to entertaining on a grand scale, the family has young children and the garden offers no shortage of recreational space.
