Bromley

The large-scale nature of this project afforded scope for a truly dynamic design.
Steep terraced planting rises from across an expansive lawn, subtly incorporating a garden room. Brilliant green verticals of tall, narrow liquidambar cut across the horizontal strata of metal and stone terracing. Echoing this punctuation on a smaller scale are the purple spires of veronicastrum and salvia, while feathery acers and rosemary, and waves of geranium wash over the retaining walls, softening and soothing as they tumble.
