By Julia Foggand Anny Evason. This steeply sloping site provided an opportunity for planting in tiers along the paths and around the shady terraces.
Dappled shade and pools of light were maximized and the selection of hard and soft materials was carefully considered to work with the context. In this long view, Geranium maderense forms a strong architectural clump and Rosa 'White Cockade' scrambles over the arch.
Aconitum 'Ivorine', Luzula sylvatica and Heucherella 'Quicksilver' form upright structure with Deutzia x rosea tumbling over the recycled sleepers under the canopy of the dark leafed prunus.
White flowered Anemone x hybrida 'Honorine Jobert' works well with trunk of the birch in late summer. In spring, Narcissus 'White Marvel' cover this spot.
Sweetly scented Hesperis matronalis contribute to the idyllic resting place with views to the south.
