Spiral pathway with raised beds and seating
To set the plants off to their best the garden boundaries are clad with a contemporary horizontal softwood timber slats and painted black.
Paving throughout the space is comprised of cream porcelain tiles laid in a diagonal stretcher pattern in a curved spiral motif. A pebble mosaic ‘rug’ forms the centre of the spiral shape. To make gardening and maintenance as easy as possible, all planting in the upper garden is contained within curved raised beds constructed from rendered concrete blocks and painted a zesty lime green. These beds are formed of several sections, each increasing in height by 20 cm increments, with the tallest in the back left corner of the space. The rear boundary fence was clad with a panel of green Perspex to reflect the Victorian botanical inspired theme of the space and provide a stylish backdrop on which to display the client’s London Underground sign and other ephemera. A bespoke bench seat constructed from a length of reclaimed docklands fender timber gives a nod towards the heritage of the area.
