Commissioned by London-based garden management company Barrow & Bee, this garden was designed and installed in September 2025.

The planting was designed to feel dynamic and evolving, complementing the backdrop of the pond while introducing a rich mix of colour, texture and form. The aim was to create interest throughout the year without relying on evergreen planting, instead embracing the seasonal changes of foliage, flowers, grasses and seed heads.

Wildlife was also central to the design, with the garden intended to provide a welcoming sanctuary for birds, insects and other garden visitors. The result is a planting scheme that changes and develops with the seasons, offering something new to discover throughout the year.
