About 33 Hampstead Lane
Created in just three years from a builders’ site the garden backs on to the eleven-acre garden of Beechwood and then Hampstead Heath. It is protected by both mature (poplar, silver birch, holly , apple and walnut) and new (a glorious mimosa) trees.
The garden faces south but the high mirrored and trellised wall separating it from Beechwood creates a deep shady area at the back of the garden in which is situated a pond, water feature, bird bath and cool patio area surrounded by ferns, a flame Azalea and a white Camelia.
Under the mimosa at the back of the garden a larger shady raised patio is bounded by jasmine, solanum, clematis montana and a Blush Noisette rose running along the fence separating it from next door. The herbaceous border with roses, cotinus, a corkscrew hazel, acers, pittosporum Irene Patterson, macaleya, cardoons and bronze fennel is smothered in a sea of geranium rozannes.
A high, dry bank surrounding the base of the holly tree on the left of the garden is covered in wild strawberries. Beneath the open steps up to the balcony that runs across the back of the house are a Japanese Anemones and wild garlic patch, a fern garden beneath the steps and a hot dry bank running down to the lower ground floor of the house covered in erigeron, thyme, ajuga, creeping rosemary, carex, campanula and little dark red dianthus – Deltoides Flashing Lights.
The centre of the garden is filled with a no-mow lawn dotted with a young fig tree and pots of specimen plants.
Beneath the Bramley apple tree and running down the side of the house is a wild area with strawberries, comfrey, michaelmas daisies, crocosmia and wooden compost bins taking you to a large patio in front of the garage.
In front of this patio and running the depths of the garden is an allotment size plot which has been turned into a vegetable garden to be worked by local children. Raised planters with tomatoes, corn, beans, beetroot, carrots and different leaves; fruit bushes, vines, a herb garden and a pond.
