I was contacted by this lovely couple in Gustard Wood, Wheathampstead, who had recently moved to their new home and needed assistance with bespoke garden design for their garden, predominantly laid to lawn.
Their garden featured an old established apple tree along with some flower beds around the perimeter. They were eager to encourage wildlife into their garden and wanted to create a pond, coupled with lush planting. While they wished to retain some grass, they felt the garden lacked depth and interest. Although they were enthusiastic about creating the garden themselves, they were uncertain about where to start.
To conduct a thorough garden audit, I took detailed measurements and noted the plants that could potentially stay within the new layout. I also requested that my clients take pictures of the garden at different times throughout the day. The garden faces west, but the large apple tree casts significant shade, so I wanted to assess how this would affect the planting plans and the newly envisioned flower beds.
