Our brief was to create a very natural style garden, with a water feature and various seating areas. The idea was to have a garden to stroll through and admire the vistas. They like scented, cottage planting which would very much be in keeping with the country cottage look. Daniel’s design included a secluded rill garden, hidden from the house on the edge of the garden to be discovered with ferns, giant rheum palmatum tanguticum and river birch growing in and around it. Below the surface of the pond the riven grey sandstone paving makes a more comfortable surface to splash around on bare-foot.
