A south facing terrace, stretching the 12 metre length of a city apartment with glazed doors opening from every room, provided a perfect opportunity for an outdoor entertaining and relaxation space. The client wanted privacy without blocking the views and enough space to accomodate furniture for relaxation and outside dining.  Long, deep galvanised troughs were installed around the perimeter of the space and planted with grasses, tall airy perennials and evergreen shrubs. Grisselinia hedging was planted to provide round year fresh greenery and privacy from neighbours. Pots of fragrant Trachelospermum jasminoides were placed by opening doors whilst agapanthus, hydrangea and clematis gave further texture and height throughout the year.
