About 9 Hawkins Drive

A small yet busy garden with mature flowering shrubs and evergreens, interspersed with perennials and annuals grown from seed. Ferns enjoy the shade beneath the shrubbery and a heuchera bed provides a low-level splash of multi-coloured foliage. Terraced patio with an abundance of planters containing snapdragons, dwarf calendulas and vibrant begonias. Two small wildlife ponds surrounded by creeping jenny with log pile lodges, home to the resident toads and frogs. Elevated view over the rooftops to Crich Chase and Cromford Moor.
The terrace is reached by several wide steps and the garden then gently slopes upwards to recently created tiered raised flower beds indicating what can be achieved even in a limited space.
