Private Herb Garden
A warm, aromatic and inviting space

A space with an enveloping sensory experience, offering seclusion from the City.
The brief: To create a warm, aromatic and inviting space. A space that could be used both for entertaining and relaxing that could offer a sensory experience and seclusion from the City. A highly perfumed, bee friendly space with a high proportion of herbal plants for use in dying fabrics and cooking

Loungers were surrounded by raised planters and ground level planting to immerse the guest in the perfumes, textures and colours of the planting scheme
Existing harsh concrete landscaping was removed in favour of a warm hardwood decking and a design was created to incorporate an intimate dining space beneath the span of a large bay tree. A sundeck was created enveloped by raised planters in corten steel filled with a scheme of edible herbs and flowers.

Ground level planters of mixed textures were grouped to soften the edges of the raised corten steel planters

A highly scented planting scheme was developed to add to the sensory experience of the garden

A relaxing colour pallette of mixed greens and recessive lilacs was used to add a sense of tranquility

Regular pruning ensured fresh new growth throughout the summer

Groups of circular mixed height planters were used as a foil to the structured raised planters and to spill plants onto deck level.
