A garden among high walls

Garden design, flowerbed building, planting

The client ordered the partial redesign of the guest house, as well as its realization. Some parts of this small garden surrounded by high walls hardly receive any sunshine at all, but the number of sunny hours over most other parts do not exceed four hours per day either. Aconites, coral bells, hart’s tongue ferns and heartleaf foamflowers were planted into the shady flowerbeds while sunnier parts were decorated with black brooms, lavenders, daisies, blue oat grasses and fraser photinias. The entire area was covered with decorative gravel, while access to the flowerbeds and the rest house was made easier with stone paths.
