9 Colville Drive

The illusion of space is created in this compact urban garden by a zig-zagging path that reveals shaded spots, otherwise hidden from the house's view. A stream tumbles from rocks, winding its way between two ponds, attracting a rich variety of wildlife. The planting scheme highlights the chalky soil, featuring a vivid display of colours from climbing plants, shrubs, dahlias, and begonias.
