8 Hornbeam Avenue: Planting Plan
Brief:
To reinstate borders throughout the garden and plant to create a low maintenance and colourful scheme
To make use and enhance the value of existing plants, shrubs and trees
The use of wildlife friendly plants, including flowers for pollinators throughout the season (and Teasel, for the Goldfinch!)
Planting of a small tree to create screening when seated at the small patio area
Use gravel corner to create a collection of pots with a more ‘exotic’ feel, to tie in with the large palm tree - perhaps exisdting Agapanthus and/or Calla lillies could also be used?
