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?
