Rural Village Garden
The herbaceous border with the spires of purple Salvia Caradonna and yellow Lupins in full bloom
This garden was for a retired couple with a busy social life. They wanted a stylish garden to suit the modern style of the house they were building.
While they were keen gardeners, they were now hoping to do less and enjoy it more! So the most important things to include were space to entertain their large family, grow vegetables, fruit, dahlias, and even a small croquet lawn.
This is how it looked a year after planting.
