Kentish Country Garden
Nestled in the heart of the Kent countryside, this garden is a celebration of nature’s beauty and sustainability. Thoughtfully designed to embrace wildlife and the changing seasons, it offers a harmonious blend of formal and natural elements. A large wildlife pond, planted with vibrant Cornus and swaying grasses, provides a haven for fish, lilies, dragonflies, and water newts, while the smaller pond attracts frogs and other aquatic life. Repurposed wood has been skilfully used to edge paths and ponds, enhancing the garden’s eco-friendly ethos.
Throughout the space, soft grass and bark paths wind through diverse planting areas, leading to serene woodland filled with seasonal treasures like snowdrops, wild garlic, and ferns. The perennial meadow, with its lavender and rose beds, brings year-round interest and a stunning backdrop of colour and fragrance. The revitalised formal rose garden has been transformed, balancing tradition with contemporary planting schemes.
At the front of the garden, dominating shrubs have been replaced with a seasonal border, offering successional interest and vibrant hues throughout the year. Every feature, from the handcrafted leaf store to the carefully curated planting, reflects a commitment to using onsite materials and creating a space that is as functional as it is beautiful. With its rich autumn tones, varied habitats, and thoughtful design, this space is a haven for both people and wildlife.
