Plant Lover's Garden - Orpington

Design Brief

Some gardens are a haven for plant lovers and this garden in Orpington really shows off attention to detail in both planting and materials. When space is limited you can't afford to waste a single square inch. The old patio was removed, new pathways introduced and the whole garden given a sense of curvaceous movement to create drama, with the plants as the main players.
