Design for a Front Garden in Portishead
Wildlife Friendly
Full Front Garden Redesign
Colourful flowers through a long season
about this project
This project was particularly exciting because the design was for a full front garden . The client wanted a wildlife friendly garden full of flowers. They liked pinks, purples and white colours in particular.
The front garden was originally mostly laid to lawn with some established shrubs around the edges. The lawn was almost completely removed in March, leaving only a small strip as a path. The shrubs were left in situ.
The plants from the design were planted in the spring and the 'After' photo below was taken in September of the same year. You can see how the garden has been transformed in 6 months - having kept up with a fair bit of watering along the way.
Feedback from the Client
"I was thrilled with Catherine's design for my small south facing front garden. I asked for a wildlife friendly, low maintenance garden in my favourite purple, pink and white colours and that is exactly what I got. A beautifully presented design, using perennial plants which looked amazing, even in its first year.
Catherine is very knowledgeable about plants and full of helpful advice. I look forward to her regular maintenance visits."
