Victorian North Facing Garden
By Blackheath based garden designer Catherine Clancy MSGD. This dreary north-facing London back garden was transformed into a pretty space with large flowering borders, a lawn and a seating area at the sunny end.
The clients were doing some major renovations to their home, including a new kitchen extension, and wanted to upgrade the garden to suit the changes and also to make much more of the outside space.
The landscaping was carried out at the same time as the house renovations. This garden was like many other London gardens, long, thin, behind a terraced Victorian property, and somewhat overlooked by houses to the back.
The new garden was created with a lawn, pretty borders filled with flowering shrubs and perennials to provide year-round colour and give a natural cottage look, and a herb bed near the kitchen door.
My clients love gardening, and have the time to look after this fairly high maintenance garden.
