An intimate secret garden hidden behind a tall wall..

 

Double rows of Buxus Sempervirens hedges frames the main focal point, a beautiful and evocative contemporary painting, reflecting in the below waterfeature. 

 

The dancing waves of colours outside the frame create a whole with the overall garden.

A contemplative english bench in front of the piece of art persuades the visitors to stop, relax, observe, breathe.

A beautiful country house in Surrey is the setting for this prestigious project, where Taxus domes of different sizes are playing with bulbs, herbaceous and perennials. A couple of existing bronze dragons have been relocated in the axis with the main dining area, floating in between the low planting of Alchemilla Mollis.

A cascade of Rhododendron are planted in front of the swimming pool area, to visually link with the surroundings.
