The Sadolin Four Seasons Garden
The Sadolin Four Seasons Garden has been designed to look great all year round. It celebrates a professional couple’s passion for entertaining outdoors, whilst taking an environmentally friendly approach to gardening.
The garden plays on the timeless appeal of wood, but gives it a contemporary twist. A palette of Sadolin’s pastel and natural wood shades have been used to decorate a sheltered, sunken deck with built-in seating, a raised deck reached by a spiral staircase and topped with a canvas sail shade, and a stylish horizontal slatted trellis fence.
The planting has been chosen for year-round interest. Trees such as Prunus serrula look wonderful in low winter sun, and dogwood provides colourful winter stems and bright autumn foliage. Perennials and shrubs in silver, blue, pink and white create an attractive summer display.
Inspired by the designer’s recent trip to the mountains of Crete and the trend towards home-grown produce, herbs play an important role in the garden, which features large planters of herbs and a thin ribbon of fragrant thyme snaking round the sunken deck.
