Plants are housed around the perimeter of the garden in raised beds that also act as low back rests for a large U-shaped floating cedar bench. At over half an acre, this expansive garden in the picturesque village of Totteridge, on the edge of London, was a fantastic space to work in. The house had been recently refurbished by a professional couple with a young family and the garden was designed to compliment the new interior whilst creating play and entertaining outdoor spaces for the growing family. A hazardous old outdoor swimming pool was removed and an overgrown woodland area at the rear of the garden was reclaimed, incorporating pathways and a small wildflower meadow.
