Garden Designs en masse......... keeping us busy in 2017

We are very busy as always, booking lots of work into our 2017 calendar.

We are attempting to establish ourselves in North Norfolk. We have approached the NGS (National Garden Scheme) to hopefully open our small Norfolk garden to the public just for a day. Share our passion with like-minded gardeners. We have teamed up with a small landscaping company and are ready to take on projects.

We are also entering 2 gardens into the Society of Garden Designers competition this year. Every year I attend the awards ceremony in London, rubbing shoulders with all associated in our wonderful industry and question why I don't find time to submit some of our wonderful creations.

We have some challenging projects and are currently working in the following areas:
a medium sized garden in Westerham
a large garden in Sevenoaks
a very large garden for a new build in Farnborough
huge garden in Birling
a tiny garden in Bexley
moroccan themed garden in Chelsea, London

We have lots of gardens being built currently, 2 in Sevenoaks, 1 to be built soon in Kings Hill and a family garden starting soon in Greenwich, we are booked to plant up a newly built garden in Chelsfield in March and the final phase of a large garden in Trottiscliffe to be completed, looking forward to seeing all of our newly planted gardens this spring.

All exciting stuff.

So here's our Bexley design.

We always use 'sketchup pro' to create the 3d designs to help our clients understand our vision as well as getting the landscapers up to speed on our ideas, delivery and vision.

I'll take a back seat this week and put on my marketing hat - update our website, all those new gardens photographed last year that we are so proud of but haven't uploaded as yet as we have been so busy.

Here's to a great 2017.

Here's a photo of the space currently: a blank canvas in our Bexley garden with existing boundary walls awaiting some greencube magic.

Sculpture in the garden, greencube designs a sculptural ball garden

I'm still out taking photos of all the gardens that have been constructed in the last year and last night I visited our clients in Borough Green, Kent to photograph this garden. We designed the terracing around this very beautiful home and picked up on the existing buff coloured stone detailing that formed the sills and frames around the doors and windows. A complimentary colour of yellow granite was finally chosen (Yellow Granite paving from CED) and a sculptural border of yellow granite balls (from Rock Unique) underplanted with Ilex crenata balls and Libertia grandiflora. Oak benches and oak arches have also been included and some division of zones created by deck laid flush with granite. This scheme fuses well with the house and setting. I will return in August to take further photos when the garden furniture is in place and hopefully get some night shots, lighting not yet fully completed at time of visit. Greencube planted this garden in two phases, the trees, ro

Practical storage solutions in our gardens in Tunbridge Wells and Folkestone

Storage in a garden is a common requirement but often forgotten or positioned too far away for practical use. Greencube have installed solutions in 2 of our gardens this year without the need for an ugly shed. The built in seating has doubled up as a great practical storage solution so that the cushions, hand tools and firewood for the brazier are readily available.

But my favourite is most definitely the Telegraph Garden

Designed by Cleve West, a magical space with walls retaining at seat level, so wherever you walk you can pause, sit and enjoy, I managed to gain access to Cleve's garden and even had a brief chat with him. I loved it even more once in the space. The star plant at the show for me is most certainly Dianthus cruentus, with its crimson flowers which looked wonderful in amongst the cotswold stone, with its elegant stems and deep red flower. The statuesque columns, the wonderful dry stone walls and planting that had space, looked natural and certainly did not look like it was only planted a week ago!!!! The play with water with the water pipes and channel through the garden with stone stepping stones, all beautifully executed and inspirational.
