Planting
THE INTENTION
The site condition
The garden is read through layers of planting and the paths between them. The question is how to keep the space legible while color, texture and light change.
The design decision
The lawn path and clipped yew provide a clear structure. Grasses and flowering perennials carry the changing detail, with a place to sit alongside the route.

Life in the garden
A walk through the garden reveals a different balance of green growth, flowers and seed heads through the season. The path and the underlying structure remain a familiar point of return.
