This triangular garden is attached to a terraced house that had belonged to the same elderly owner for around 50 years; it had a Victorian feel and a lot of established plants and trees. “There were a number of really beautiful plants in it that we tried to keep, including some palm trees,” designer Nigel Gomme of Cityscapers explains. “The Victorians loved exotics and the jungle theme we developed was, in part, already there before we started.” Along with the inherited tropical theme for the garden, one of the owners is Anglo-Brazilian and wanted lush planting with bold, architectural plants that would remind him of home. There were also practical considerations: the owners have small children and asked for a large lawn for them to play on, plus they needed to connect two new garden buildings and the house with the garden.
