Clackmannanshire Farmhouse Garden

first contacted by the client to provide planting design plans for newly restored investment property; subsequently the client’s wife called to ask for design & planting advice for their own garden (2009)
large garden on one level, with mature trees & hedges, plus attractive pond & deck area close to house created on a DIY basis some years before; remainder of large garden consisted of lumpy lawn with no real features
potential for good rural views over River Forth, enhanced by adding farm gate into hedge as focal point (works well from within house as well as outside)
large outdoor seating area requested for entertaining & stone available on site so low ‘S’ shaped flat topped wall designed to provide informal seating & to act as attractive feature
custom made tree seat creates additional feature & acts as focal point from driveway/parking area
upgraded planting recommended for borders by house & to add interest into grassy areas by entrance & along boundaries
garden constructed & planted by the clients in 2013

Note from designer: the client phoned me in July 2013 to say that all the garden design work & planting had been completed in time for her daughter’s wedding that summer, and that the garden had been greatly admired by all the guests & was giving them great pleasure
