About 28 St Ronan's Avenue
Plantsman’s garden created from derelict land in a seaside urban area 700 metres from the sea. Frosts are rare and the soil is free draining. The garden has evolved to include plants suited to these conditions.
A shaded area closer to the house has more moisture retentive soil where bananas and tree ferns grow including dicksonia antarctica and cyathia medularis. There is a dry garden, which is never watered and includes tulips in early to late spring, achillea, alliums, crocosmia, cerinthe purpurea, echeveria, euphorbia mellifera, echinops, bergenia and sedum. The dry garden is in flower from April to early August.
There is a wild flower area and wildlife pond with toads and newts. There is another dry area with agave americana, agave parryi and aloe.
Structure is created by interesting trees including cercis siliquastrum, albizia julibrissin, loquat and pleached hornbeam for screening.
We use recycled items to create quirky sculptures and the large shed was made by the owner entirely from reclaimed materials for less than £100 and was inspired by the book, ‘Cabin Fever’ by Marie-France Boyer.
