We never know what is facing us when we get called to view a garden for the first time. This was a case in point.

The owners had cleared it and then promptly ran out of steam and decided to give us a call.

We got our creative caps on and turned it into something fabulous.

Real Homes magazine, (UK), decided to feature this garden so we arranged a photo shoot.

This is the same garden, eighteen months after we planted it. Looking exactly as we expected! Here are a few pics from the shoot.

Once unimaginable, a garden with a seating area, is now a reality.

Yes, that is the same shed in the same place, now cleverly camoflagued and rendered insignificant.

The dominance of that awful neighbouring wall is lessened by planting and a sense of enclosure.

This picture above shows how the once glaring pink wall is now a very important backdrop showing off the subtlties and variations in planting.
