This was a planting design to refresh a tired bed that had only a few shrubs and old roses before. The owners had just moved in and although they loved gardening, they had little time to tend to the garden as were both working full time.
Design Philosophy
Always trying to work with what already exists in a garden, we hard pruned the roses, gave them a serious feeding and mulching and are now back to glorious health and vigor. The sunny south facing aspect and moisture retentive clay soil welcomed the sun-loving, colourful Herbaceous Perennials, a few small trees and shrubs.
