About 88 West Street
A compact garden designed by the owners. West facing with an old wall planted with evergreen and clematis, creating a wind barrier. The colourful central bed, surrounded by a brick path, has plants of various heights, encouraging you to walk around it . The planting consists of shrubs, roses and perennials, with repeat planting. Obelisks with clematis and a beautiful Stipa Giagantea also add height The garden flowers from early spring until late in the year, which, with two small ‘pot’ ponds ensures that a variety of wildlife is attracted to it. A narrow side return became a gravel shade garden planted with ferns, camellias, fatsia and mimosa and provides a cool place to sit. A 4 metre deep well from which water is pumped into a very large ceramic cistern, provides water for pots. Another side return is paved and has containers with salad vegetables. Trees, Olive, Prunus Amanogawa and Sorbus Joseph Rock, provide height and spring and autumn colour. A small herb garden reflects the owners love of cooking. There are many small additions to add interest; a large wood robin, giant worm, Easter Head, iguana and a creative use of mirrors. Growing hops for the Deal Hop Farm. Finalist in the Gardeners’ World Magazine – Garden of the Year 2023.
