This edge of woodland, architect's studio garden of approx ¾ acre sits on a sloping sandy site. Designed to support wildlife and biodiversity, a series of outdoor living spaces connected with informal paths through lightly managed areas, creates a charming secret world tucked into the surrounding common land. The garden spaces have made a very small house (not open) into a hospitable family home.

Each space could function as a stand alone garden, designed to expand the footprint of a house, at a fraction of the cost of building. With no need for planning permission and the ability to set a budget, engaging with the garden (even if you are not a gardener by nature), can bring much needed extra space to a home and an immeasurable uplift to sense of wellbeing.
