A day of garden designing

/ Gardens / By ishocreative

Planting detail and drawing board still life from my day finishing up a design. Note the hairspray to fix the chalk pastel pencils I use for colouring to scan and print them. Tools of the trade!

Treat day round my house. Look at all the lovely colours! Good to replace my old worn our stumps after many years service

Curvy beds, sleeper stepping stones through gravel

Curvy beds, sleeper stepping stones through gravel, a new lawn and lots of plants have made a great start for this garden. A new studio is soon to be installed at the back of the site, and the gravelly gap is for a swing seat. Can't wait to see this in a couple of months once it has started blooming. Scroll for before pic.

Little Hanover garden finished and planted this week. A mix of perennial plants will start flowering soon (Geum 'Flamea of Passion' are in bud) and give colour, texture and interest throughout the year.

We hard pruned a huge wisteria which is also starting to shoot back, and made sure the screening is on chukka posts, very well concreted in for maximum strength for it to climb along.

Space for seating and a table in from of the tall bed at the back. Shed and extra section of screening still to come - hence the seemingly random post.

Scroll for before!

Always weirdly satisfying turning lines and scribbles into a visual image of the garden I'm about to start designing. As well as producing accurate measurements of the space, I always find it gets my head into it and starting to turn over ideas.

It's still cold out there but at least you can get lost in the beauty of a tulip in a bed of forget-me-nots from time to time.

Plant plants plants! Having prepped the borders, installed the chestnut pole walkway and created a little path through an area formerly densely packed with slightly neglected shrubs back in January, it was nice to go and get lots of plants in. Can't wait to see this combination start blooming in the next few months!

Making the most of the slope with a cosy sunken seating area complete with chiminea, finally sanded and oiled after all the recent rain.

All finished now, with festoon lights fitted on the pergola. Oak decking, benches and pergola, and lots of silver foliage, purples and blues to come from the planting soon.
