By Garden Designers Julia Fogg and Anny Evason. The clients for this small urban garden in Bethnal Green East London were keen to combine contemporary materials with the traditional brick walls.
We chose a smart close board panelled fencing and peacock slate paving. The slim angled mirror glimmers in the light as well as reflecting the planting.
Punchy galvanised metal containers form spatial definition and bring the planting to waist level. Evergreen Trachelospermum jasminoides will flower and provide perfumed white flowers through the summer and climb up the boundary to meet the wisteria. Gaura lindheimeri performs at a lower level and moves gracefully in the breeze.
