A 10 yr project to turn a medium size plot dominated by car parking and conifers into a garden. Terraced herbaceous borders, edged by an entirely self-seeded dry gravel garden lead to a courtyard with reflecting pool and terrace. Kitchen garden, raised beds, greenhouse, small orchard and island beds. Pond with bog garden, and fern rockery lead to a sunken patio overlooking the horse pond.
