Mediterranean Garden, Shepherds Bush, London

We created a private front garden complete with fragrant lavender, sage and rosemary. The new wall, high gate and fence – soon to be covered with Wisteria sinensis and Trachelospermum jasminoides – created a safe space where the children could play. The white walls and pale grey limestone helped to bring more light into the space. Originally the garden was a dark concrete and weed-covered yard, with a tumbling down low fence.
