150ft Islington garden, designed and planted over the last 30 yrs. This fully accessible family garden draws inspiration from the owner’s antipodean roots. A brick path guides visitors past lawns, raised beds, a water feature, fire bowl and a creative mix of plants from around the globe (inc kowhai and hoheria trees with many shade tolerant plants). This garden has a lot, even the kitchen sink!
