Three in One Garden

 

The Three in One Garden combines an edible garden, a family garden and a contemporary garden for grown-ups within the boundaries of a typical urban space.

The garden is enclosed by coloured, rendered walls with redwood batons for textual contrast, and combines smooth hardwood decking with cool limestone paving. A bespoke steel frame, designed to support climbers, and a recycled metal sculpture that imitates spreading tree branches complete the contemporary feel.

Herbs, vegetables and flowers combine with the geometric qualities of box hedging in the style of a potager. Olive trees provide lateral focal points, surrounded by a dwarf scented hedge, while bay standards add to the geometric design. A small lawn provides a play area for children. The edible plants encourage the whole family to discover the satisfaction of growing their own food, making a positive contribution to the environment and getting a little healthy exercise into the bargain.

The Three in One Garden is a stylish, modern garden that is both practical and fun.
