We’re so fond of the Thyme filling the gaps between paving slabs, releasing beautiful aromas every time you brush over it – and all leading the eye towards the bed and its beautiful stone bird table centrepiece.
Greens and blues in this bed sit gently against the warm glow from indoors, especially at twilight.
With Euphorbia beginning to come through, we can already get a sense of how spectacular this will be in spring.
At the shady end of the garden sits a low-light-loving bed filled with Brunnera, ferns and yet-to-emerge Hostas. Underlighting will really set these off come summer.
A perfect example of winter structure and colour with the golden lit grass fronds and beautiful warm bark.
Accompanying pots filled with the holy triumvirate of a Thriller (in the form of an Olive tree), Spiller (here a Helichrysum), and a Filler (here a beautiful flowing, structural grass) help tie everything together.
Sage, Euphorbia and grasses left to dry overwinter, providing both habitat and shelter for local wildlife.
At the back of the garden, the remains of summer’s Verbena bonariensis still add huge impact right through the winter with airy height long after flower heads have dried out.
