Designed by Jack Dunkley. 16-year-old Jack Dunckley presents ‘Birchfield’, his second Show garden at the Hampton Court Palace Show.
‘Birchfield’ is a formal cottage garden with long tranquil herbaceous borders; a large hornbeam hedge creates the backdrop.
The garden contains a beautifully calming central pond, adding to the formal design. A large wooden pergola provides protection from the elements. Three maples add structure and height to the back of the garden.
The intended use of the garden is for social enjoyment with a relaxing and peaceful feeling, incorporating trickling water, close-cropped lawn and large herbaceous borders which are pleasing to the eye.
A beech hedge surrounds and encloses the garden on two sides. This hedge provides architectural structure. This garden is not intended to be part of a larger plot, but would work well in a corner of a large garden.
