Garden Plans > 2023: Coastal garden

About this Garden Plan

A spiral ammonite pathway, a sandpit, white picket fence and herbs and vegetables that will thrive in sandy soil. The painted bench is sea blue and the whole scheme screams Nantucket. For all of us who have to work away from the coast and miss it. This has fantastic contemporary planting schemes using mixed grasses to give an all round vista and for minimal management, which echo the marram grass of the shoreline. It also has cordylines and phormium which thrive in salty conditions.
