About 48 Erskine Hill

Restful, organic bird and bee friendly garden wrapped around 1909 Arts and Crafts artisan’s cottage in Hampstead Garden Suburb. Wide sunny borders stuffed with cottage garden perennials, exuberant shrubs, climbing roses and clematis. Small container pond.

Terrace with colourful plant-filled pots. Thanks to forced removal of shady old apple tree, completely changed appearance for the brick-paved secret area with four contrasting raised beds, and roses and clematis scrambling on to now mature pergola.

Containerised vegetable plot with greenhouse backed by narrow border featuring more roses, clematis and perennials.

London Gardens Society third prize and gold certificate 2022.
