Our previous garden in Middlesex was
designed and built in 1997. A typical urban garden, it was 50 metres
long but only 7 metres wide so it was split into a series of rooms, each
inspired by a different metallic theme.

At the front the Copper Garden was planted
in hot reds, to the side the Lead Garden was inspired by a Mediterranean
patio with terracotta tiles, white walls and large black pots filled with
plants chosen for their purple and black leaves and flowers.
The main patio
area of interlinked paving circles and a raised pond was surrounded by
bright planting to create a Gold Garden and over a small bridge was the
Silver Garden with drought tolerant planting in gravel.
A pergola lead past
the summerhouse to the nursery area and a potager garden of fruit and
vegetables.
