  • series of linked garden rooms designed for a sloping site around a renovated Edwardian villa 
  • garden layout inspired by geometric window features, which helps to integrate the house with its surroundings

  •  low dry stone retaining walls feature in both formal & informal areas, creating continuity around the garden
  • formal entertaining area contains a large circular patio, with metalwork gazebo, which interlocks with a semi-raised circular lawn
  • phase 2 will include:  ornamental vegetable garden, orchard of fruit & nut trees with mown paths through rough grass, additional informal seating area at bottom of orchard

    “We are delighted with the outcome.  This garden needed a radical solution and we would not have had the courage to tackle it without the insight & support from Belinda.  It has been transformed”
