Parmé Garden Design

Project 2 Country Garden

​

This Project has been shortlisted on the national Association of Professional Landscapers Awards (taking place March 2019)

​

This recently converted Barn, part of a larger project, use to house cows and straw and subsequently the area left for a ‘garden’ needed a strong vision!

The clients wanted a garden that included a good sized lawn, space to dine and relax and a design that made the recently refurbished outhouse-now- games-room feel part of the garden. The views of open fields were to remain open and a way of retaining the higher level soil of the fields was to be sought. This resulted in a traditional stone wall being constructed with a planted bank to the rear which now blurs the lines between the end of the garden and the start of the countryside, lengthening the view.

​

One other requirement was that it was pretty and attractive to look at but not in a full blown traditional cottage garden way as time and maintenance were a key consideration.
