Alice in Wonderland

One summer, the salmon pink tiles of my front garden really started to annoy me. So after a very short thought and a trip to Homebase, I spent half a day painting the ground and planting turf in reclaimed concrete pots. I'd like to think that somewhere in the back of my mind I had Alice in Wonderland as a concept. At the end of the day it was a quick and cheap job, it may not be wonderful, but thank good those salmon pink tiles have gone.

Front Garden 1

 Second year

Fith year

My first ever built project. Thank you Susan for sending me these photos, I'm so happy to see that it has grown so well. The garden must be around 5 years old, the Choisya and Polygonatum are in bloom! The brief for this project was an all year round garden full of wonderful scents; A welcome home from a hard day at work. The form is asymmetrical deriving its contours from that of the house. The plans are all hand drawn and as I don't have a scanner big enough, I photographed and touched them up in Illustrator so as to post them on this blog.
