This garden wraps around the end of a Victorian terrace, creating a calm, functional outdoor space with a naturalistic feel.
Species like Euphorbia, Sesleria, Miscanthus and Helenium provide seasonal variation and support insect life, while multi-stem Amelanchier and birch add light structure without dominating the space. A narrow rill links two corten steel water features, the lower of which has a shallow ‘beach’ to allow access for amphibians and other wildlife.
The planting emphasises texture over colour and has an informality that softens the edges. Structural boulders, low benches and restrained detailing help anchor the space without overcomplicating it.
