CHOOSING THE RIGHT PLANTS

Thanks to all the plant collectors and breeders we in
Britain have an enormous amount of material to
choose from when it comes to creating a garden style.
For example:

AROMATIC
TROPICAL
JUNGLE
PRAIRIE
ENGLISH
WILDLIFE
COURTYARD
WATER
CONTEMPORARY
WOODLAND
COTTAGE
ORIENTAL
ALPINE
MEDITERRANEAN

It can be tempting to add too many elements and spoil the overall style. This is where a good designer can help.

Many plants have been brought to Britain from all over the world and most have adapted very well to our temperate climate while others need special care to survive. A good designer can advise on the most suitable plants for your area, climate, soil conditions, style and taste.

A well designed garden can provide all year interest. Plants can be combined to give a longer splash of colour.

Trees can be trained to grow against walls and so
fruit can be grown even in a small space. Many dwarf varieties will thrive in containers on the balcony or patio.

A QUIET RETREAT

A green and lush place to escape
from modern day pressures

A WATER GARDEN

Water can bring a whole new dimension to
a garden. A pond is the first choice but where space is limited there is still usually room for a water feature. A pond will attract wildlife into your garden. Frogs will help to control
pests such as slugs. Birds will come to bathe
and you may even attract dragonflies and
newts and of course gorgeous water lilies can be grown.
