Deep dark north facing borders and a lawn full of overgrown shrubs and apple trees needed a complete overhaul. All existing plants were removed to recondition and cultivate the lifeless soil in preparation for a completely new planting scheme. Plants were selected to cope with the dry shade created by the tall mature trees with wide spreading roots. In full view of the main house, the borders needed to look fresh and vibrant all year. Textural lush evergreen foliage provided an all year background structural forms interspersed with with ferns and grasses.A  restricted colour palette of  whites, creams, limes and clarets created seasonal interest throughout the year.
