I recorded this just before heading to Chelsea flower show. This is a garden I designed as a productive space, where my client could grow vegetables, fruit, and other edibles throughout the year.
From my very first visit, the garden had the atmosphere of a traditional walled garden, and that became the guiding inspiration for the design.
As you move through the garden, there’s a real feeling of being within a walled garden environment. One of my favourite features is the sunken, edged lawn, which brings structure and definition.
However what I love most now, is the atmosphere. Whenever I visit, you can always hear the birds singing. It has such a peaceful, established feel, and it’s wonderful to see how the garden has matured into a space that is both productive and deeply relaxing.
