2015- The front garden planting was like a supermarket carpark when we first started work in July 2015, with very sad shrubs and lot’s of bare soil. The rear garden had a high maintenance troublesome fish pond and austere hard landscaping. We replaced this with…

2011- My photographs don’t really do the view of St Pauls justice, but hopefully they illustrate how in one season the new raised bed/containers and planting was able to dramatically transform this unusual space. The client asked for “a jungle”, plus screening from the office…
