Anchor farm

By Blockley garden designer Alison Heitmann. This barn conversion courtyard looks out onto an open field with a pond and a very old tree. 

The client of this garden wanted a formal structured garden within the courtyard with plenty of interest and absolutely no lawn. The garden has been created to form four very different areas linked by York stone and cobbled pathways.

In this image above you can see Angelica archangelica in the foreground, with Nepeta Six Hills Giant and Alchemilla mollis edging the path. Rosa Sombreuil with Clematis alpina Francis Rivis are on the first post on the right, Rosa Glamis Castle on the first left post, Rosa Francis E Lester on the second left post, and Rosa Pauls Lemon Pillar with Clematis alpina Pink Flamingo on the second right post.

Above are Taxus baccata (Yew hedge to grow), Tilia euchlora on the right, and Buxus suffruticosa hedge with Buxus sempervirens balls in foreground. Lavandula stoechas Papillon, and Veronica longifolia Blauriesin at the foreground on the right.

Nepeta Six Hills Giant, Alchemilla mollis and Hebe pinglifolia can be seen along the sides. And in in the background are Hosta Big Daddy and Hydrangea petiolaris.
