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
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.
