86A Underhill Road

An evolving garden that is changing as our child grows up and our dog calms down. It is split into five parts: a deck nearest the house, a lawn with borders, a seating area under the shade of a large acer, a play area that adults are reclaiming, and a functional section with raised beds, a greenhouse, and a shed. Mature trees and bushes surround the garden, providing a sense of privacy.

About 86A Underhill Road

A generous London rectangular shaped garden that has also had a fairly typical history, transforming itself over the years from baby friendly to child friendly and is now entering the stage where plants are taking centre stage (the trampoline is still there but its days are numbered).

The garden slopes down away from the from the wide terrace filled with dramatic late season flowers such as tall canna lilies and grasses – the perfect place to relax with a tea or even a G&T!

Down some steps, the lawn framed by flowering shrubs offers an open space for play and picnics and is followed by a flower-filled seating area that benefits from a circle of light from the canopy of trees that surround it.

At the end of the garden are raised beds and a potting shed for some serious vegetable production, enough to keep the family going for much of the late summer season.
