Cottage Front Garden

CAPEL MANOR GARDENS | ENFIELD

A design concept for a double-fronted cottage in ‘Sunflower Street’ – one of several permanent show gardens set within 30-acre landscaped public gardens. The design combines both traditional and modern material solutions in response to front garden planning legislation, in particular, natural rainwater management and the environmental impact caused by excessive paving in front gardens.


Permaculture Garden

CAPEL MANOR GARDENS | ENFIELD

A modern, stylised interpretation of an ecological garden, promoting environmental awareness and the importance of sustainability in gardens, focused on a style and planting re-design. A concept for one of several permanent show garden installations set within 30-acre landscaped public gardens, sponsored by Provender Nurseries.


Ecological Dry Garden

CAPEL MANOR GARDENS | ENFIELD

A planting plan concept for a large disused exposed and sunny site with impoverished soil – the perfect conditions for a low-maintenance gravel garden. The design features a wide range of architectural grasses and drought-loving plants from around the world – inspired by plantswoman Beth Chatto, with all plants sourced from the Beth Chatto Nursery.
