75 Bampton Road

A designer’s small garden, set in a tranquil, tree lined oasis behind a modernist terrace near Forest Hill Station. The garden is defined by strong architectural features, like espaliered crab apples, yew and box topiary, and steel water tanks. Planting is dense and lush in early summer, with peonies, grasses, and hostas, building to an exuberant autumn display.

About 75 Bampton Road

Designed for year-round interest, the garden has several incarnations throughout the seasons, achieved through densely layered planting.

In early spring, apple blossom combines with bulbs like Erythronium, Scilla and Narcissus, before giving way to a lush green tapestry of Euphorbia, Rodgersia and Hosta.

Greenery is studded throughout summer with white flowers including peonies and Astrantia. Meanwhile, climbing roses at the garden’s edges, including Mme. Alfred Carriere and Rambling Rector, provide dramatic moments.

An autumn crescendo arrives with waves of Persicaria, Anemones, Asters and grasses, set among bright crab apples.

The steel water tanks provide gentle movement and a constant sculptural presence throughout the year; their surfaces always reflecting the constantly changing planting, the sky, and the weather.
