Phil Hyde helped in the creation of
this Hampton Court palace Gold Medal Winner.
The modern design, which is simple and
eye-catching, is based on a radial layout
comprising five circles. A pergola divides the
garden into richly planted areas for
entertainment and relaxation. An entertainment
area hosts bright fire-coloured herbaceous
perennials and ornamental grasses. And the
relaxation area consists of more subdued tones
of white, blue and lots of bold green foliage.
Tall specimen plants in the relaxation area
create a secluded feeling, isolating it from the
entertainment area.
Moisture-loving plants, such as zantedeschia,
acorus, and pontederia, are carefully arranged
around a water feature. |
The hard landscaping comprises
modern materials like steel
framework, architectural mesh
screens, black basalt setts, metal
mesh flooring and an Italian
porphyry sett circle.
Three cube-shaped Carpinus
betulus 'Frans Fontaine' trees
are cleverly planted at the front
of the plot to reinforce the
garden's radial form. |
