30 Calvin Street, Flat 1

Secret garden behind a former warehouse, this small space is framed by wisteria, jasmine and grapevines on top of 35ft walls. An arch and welcoming bench grace the centre of a raised bed. Trees both planted and potted. More pots and two walls of vertical garden provide colourful backdrops, concealing a shed with green roof. Two water features complete the sense of an oasis. A garden to amuse.
