Peter Ward Garden Design

Design Brief:

To create a ‘hot’ looking border with prolonged summer/autumn
interest. The numerous mass planting of herbaceous material is blended
with grasses and shrubs, will provide a modern look to the space. The
two small multi stemmed maples provide a strong vertical element.
The colours present are predominately red, orange, yellow and green.
The real contrast will come from the contrasting look and textures of
the different foliage types.
The border is relatively low maintenance, and as stated is not a ‘year
round’ border. I prefer to design different areas of the garden to be at
there best at various times of the year, as opposed to every space
constantly trying to put on a show. By doing this individual planting
areas do not have to be compromised by generic ‘year round’ planting,
and can become seasonal instead
