CHELSEA EMBANKMENT GARDEN
This Mediterranean style Rear Garden is a fabric of overlapping textures and colours, both subtle and bold, with soft complex flora : flowers of purples, blues, pinks, whites and creams : a sinuous flow of block planting, achieved by carefully assembled patterns of repetition and contrast.
On entering this bright and reflective space, two towering Trachycarpus Palms stand proud at left and right of a raised pond combining modern filtering technology and a trickling cascade spouting from three terracotta plaques mounted on a rendered feature wall behind.
At the far end of the garden, an intimate dining space entirely walled by vertical planting : a Living Wall - a fusion of flowering plants and herbs, provide a rare 'slice of nature' in the heart of Chelsea.
At intervals, Cyprus trees break the formality and architectural lines of the boundary walls and trellis. In-between, a wide variety of Mediterranean planting combine to provide a fusion of the formal and the wild.
