🌿🥳 Ready for our 3rd Garden Masterclass tomorrow evening? ✅

Join us for “Transformative City Gardens”, where we’ll dive into two innovative urban garden projects that demonstrate the power of thoughtful landscape design in city living. Discover how we create serene, functional outdoor spaces that offer peaceful escapes within urban environments. 🏡🌿

In this session, we’ll explore the unique design elements of each project, the creative processes behind their development, and our dedication to celebrating nature and supporting local wildlife—key principles in our design philosophy.

This Masterclass will inspire you with valuable insights into transforming urban spaces into vibrant green sanctuaries. Don’t miss this opportunity to reimagine city spaces and explore the potential of urban greening!

In the Shade of the Catalpa Tree: Alexander Square II 🌿🌿
This innovative project integrates a Grade II listed building with its landscape, creating a serene garden retreat. Featuring a striking slatted iroko fence with varying widths and depths, and large pots against the fence, it creates a compelling visual axis.

A camellia hedge offers privacy with dark green foliage and white flowers in spring. Beneath the Catalpa tree, shade-loving perennials thrive, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere. A circular table under pendant lights provides a space for gatherings, while spike lights highlight key features like pots and pathways at night.

The basement level includes a vibrant flowerbed with shade-loving plants and two decorative pots with gentle jets, creating a water feature. This project blends historical significance with modern design for relaxation and social interaction.

A Tapestry of Urban Greenery 🌿✨
This 20 x 6-meter east-facing garden integrates nature with contemporary aesthetics. Recycled concrete paving transitions into a more permeable path, leading to seating areas and a children’s play space. Lush plantings provide seasonal interest, enhancing the garden’s beauty year-round.
