The project is still under construction and therefore the images here show only some of the planting in the walled garden.
This brand new garden was created following a new spa building which was constructed within the grounds of a large country estate in Brantham. The original garden was partly old oak sleepers forming vegetable beds and partly lawn. The design of this walled garden reimagined the space as an entirely blank canvas.
Given that the new building was to be used as a home retreat for the clients, Llevelo suggested early on the garden design process for this walled garden that we look to create a feeling of calm and wellbeing. To do so meant that the garden had a strong plant focus.
Using plants to lead the design, Llevelo created a series of pathways to allow the clients to enjoy strolling around the different spaces. Focal points are always an important feature of a garden space and even more so in a walled garden where without them, there is no purpose to a walk. Gardens, like all of us, need purpose. Our belief has always been that the garden should encourage you to take one more step into it. To ensure this happens, we create a series of inviting focal points to ensure clients and their visitors are subliminally invited to take a closer look.
