About 31 Trelawn Road

A small city garden designed on the diagonal to make the most of limited space. There are several seating areas and some interesting design ideas for creating the illusion of space and providing privacy in small urban setting.

In early June there is a profusion of roses, alliums, peonies and fox gloves, creating a cottage garden feel to parts. The garden is also dominated by several trees including an edible cherry, amelanchier and crab apple.
