This garden is small and in two parts, and, as with all small gardens, it presents some very specific challenges. The client wanted to create a private sanctuary and to fit a lot into the space without it feeling crowded. In the end, the key to achieving this was the use of old-fashioned lime hogging, which joins the spaces of the old and new houses together, making it a restful, flowing environment. The theme is the same throughout but without losing the surprises presented by each new space.
