I loved working on the design for this garden. It was really tucked away, up lots of steps, down a passage, in the heart of the village, you wouldn't know it was there. It was quite overgrown when I first saw it, but the dry stone walls and views of the church and the fields created a really peaceful feel already. There was a lot of clearing to do, but gradually the new layout took shape. We restored the old pond, and added lots of new planting to bring in wildlife and support a bee hive. Mark built an amazing stone arch that leads up to the a new patio with a bench under the old apple tree. There are also raised beds for veggies, and a winding, shady path of ferns, brunnera and hostas to take you back to the house.
