East Barnet Roof Terrace Garden
Designed by Gillie Leaf Garden Design. This very large, north-facing roof terrace had an extremely exposed and open aspect. The brief was to replicate the modern and airy style of the apartment. The roof terrace was rather bleak and bare apart from a dining table and chairs and a wooden bench.

It was in need of some greenery and colour to enhance the views from the large windows of the flat. This was achieved by using stylish, lightweight planters.
Used in varied shapes amd sizes, placed on the perimeter of the glazed boundaries, they created interest and contrast. Taller planters were used on the right hand boundary so that some privacy issues could be addressed.
The existing wooden bench was re-located against the brick wall & flanked by two tall Planters.
A mix of loose & architectural planting was used to soften the space.
Evergreen flowering shrubs with some herbaceous perennials helped to create further seasonal interest.
Strong repetition of key plants harmonised the area.
