With the clients having already cleared most of the site, this front garden offered a blank canvas for designing a planting scheme. Ensuring the site was free of weeds, the soil was improved with organic matter so planting could get off to a good start. A combination of shrubs and perennials were supplemented by a range of bulbs, offering additional interest throughout the year in a small space. A colour scheme of violet blue and orange-yellow was selected, opposites on the colour wheel, but giving a vibrancy to the planting, whilst dark tones were added to give a richness. The clients were novice gardeners so were looking for low maintenance and easy care plants whilst learning new skills and a developing passion for plants. Two contemporary galvanised zinc planers in a zingy shade of teal were added to extend the areas of planting outside the front door and the existing driveway. They also added a much-needed shot of colour through the winter months. Foliage had contrasting textures with plants such as Bergenia and Hydrangea quercifolia showing vibrant colour changes in leaf as the temperatures start to drop. Varieties of plant were selected for their compact size so they would not require constant pruning and would sit well in their allotted space.

In 2019 MUSA Landscape Architecture won a Silver award coming second in the gardens under 50m square in Australia.

The planting in this garden is a mixture of shrubs and herbaceous perennials with a focus on texture and form, in a white and green colour scheme. With grasses for movement and long flowering perennials to provide seasonal year round interest.

The planting was replaced approximately 2-3 years ago. The existing bed was over grown and full of weeds. The client wanted to keep the 'cottage garden' look but without the necessary maintenance that is associated with this relaxed look.

It all begins with an idea. And the idea behind these planted borders was a simple one…. Choose a typical soil type from the North West Region, and show what can be achieved. The result was four 2.4m x 2.4m “Pocket Plantings” borders, paid for by the RHS and displayed at this years (2022) RHS Tatton Park Flower Show, featured on Granada Reports and filmed for BBCs Gardeners World. I was extremely honoured to be asked to chose the soil type and aspect, design and plant 3 of these borders (see also my blog post about collaboration on this feature). So, now to reveal my choices, show some images of the plants and describe a little of my approach to designing each of them. Off to a patchy start - Mixed soil types typically found in uncultivated gardens attached to new build properties. Tutti frutti sandy cutie - sandy soils in vibrant colours Cream, green, serene - clays loam soild in semi to full shade All typical soils found across Cheshire and the wider North West region
