Tapestry Garden - Petts Wood
Design Brief
A much-loved but tired looking garden in Petts Wood was in need of a major rejuvenation. There were a number of key features worth keeping such as the mature trees and existing terrace but the garden felt as if it was split into two halves without clearly connected spaces.
The brief required that the garden be redesigned bearing in mind the parts which already worked and introducing new planting areas of different characters, combined with a means of enjoying the garden from many different angles.
Here is how the garden looked beforehand
