1. (See Left) We started with a pond near the house next to the patio with a rock outcrop linking the garden to the pool
2. (See Under) Below the Pond there is a terrace set in the water - an ideal place for entertaining a gathering of people
3. (See Left) Further downstream we made a small jetty with steps where you can sit and relax and play “pooh sticks”
4. ( See Under) Between the two areas we reconstructed a waterfall with carefully chosen stones from Worsham Quarry
The finished garden makes full use of the stream and enhanced the beauty of the running water.
GARDEN AT PLATER DRIVE, NORTH OXFORD
The owners were anxious to form a screen between their garden and the local primary school. These two BEFORE and AFTER photographs show how we have managed to create an intimate area with summer colour in raised beds.
