Town Garden
This town garden has two distinct areas with trellised overhead beams dividing the space. This creates an open space for the children to play and a private space near the house for dining and sunbathing. The beams provide ample support for clematis, roses, evergreen jasmine and passion flowers to scramble over in a happy confusion.
