Country Cottage Garden
In this garden cottage style planting has been employed to soften the impact of the York stone walls and paving. The space has been given structure by the judicious use of beech hedging and architectural features such as the timber arch and oak gate leading to the swimming pool area. Beyond the pergola the garden becomes less formal and the lawn area is bounded by meadow planting and a small glade of silver birches that encircle an ancient apple tree.
