6 Amherst Road

A family-friendly nature garden. Established trees make it a haven for shade-loving ferns and grasses, and spots of bright sun encourage pockets of flowering and fragrant colour. At the end of the garden, an east-asian inspired rockery and pond make a delightful spot for contemplation. Dead beds, rocks and tree-stumps provide further sanctuary for a variety of birds and insects.

About 6 Amherst Road

The garden is especially long for a 1930s semi-detached house, as it is an infill property on a terrace of large victorian houses. There are three zones; a raised-bed patio is in development, leading to a wide lawn surrounded by established planting. A small pathway then leads to another paved area, with a bench allowing visitors to take in the small pond and rockery.

The area’s transient student population has led to an abundance of large trees and shrubs along garden boundaries, meaning that the area benefits from an uncharacteristically wide variety of local creatures for such an urban setting. The garden has been designed to accommodate winged and many-legged neighbours whilst also offering a peaceful, shady space for play and socialising.
