Theme - The Upwardly Mobile Garden This garden belongs to a young professional couple who have bought their first home together and who have invested in their garden to improve the value of their property. The planting is easy to maintain and creates interest throughout the seasons. The couple’s enthusiasm for plants is reflected in the planting scheme, which includes new introductions from The Endless Summer collection of hydrangeas, First Editions plants and Mattocks roses. A beautiful Cornus Venus (‘Kn30 8’) provides a focal point, offering welcome shade in summer. The hard landscaping reflects the location of the property, drawing on the coastline of East Anglia and local agricultural buildings for inspiration, whilst maintaining the couple’s desire for clean, contemporary lines and textural contrast.
