Country Gardens, High Littleton, nr Bath

 

 

Country Garden, High Littleton, Bath

Brief

To design a family garden for entertaining (potential for marquee) and children’s play.

 

Before

The old farmhouse had been extensively modernised but lacked a garden.

Established hedgerows bordered the sloping plot, which was an overgrown field containing a derelict barn.

 

I quickly realised the potential of the stone in the barn to build walls and steps and raised one end of the garden to create a level lawn. This would then allow for a flagstone terrace and wooden rose pergola as an entrance to the gently sloping gardens. Traditional herbaceous borders and mixed shrub planting with groups of native trees formed soft shapes and interesting routes around the garden. A wildlife pond and viewing deck at the far end provided a destination and an opportunity to view the house and surrounding countryside.

The granny annexe overlooked the old concrete yard. My client had a passion for roses, so this became a formal rose garden with gravel paths.

 

Melanie Jackson garden design is a small company in Bath providing inspired planting design and beautiful gardens in and around Bath. Even with the most derelict plots or daunting projects, I can find a way to create a garden that is welcoming and relaxing. I cover a wide range of styles, including family, contemporary or low maintenance gardens, vegetable, wildlife and cottage gardens, courtyards, modern terraces and traditional gardens. I also work with conservation projects, listed buildings and landscapes of historic interest. I am keen to promote organic practice and the inclusion of wildlife and ecology from design through to completion. With over 25 years of practical and technical experience, I ensure each project delivers a design service tailored to suit your garden and individual needs. Designing a garden can mean re-landscaping the entire plot or simply re-planting and shaping existing borders. I am happy to work on complete gardens or smaller areas of planting. I also offer gardening advice and ideas with workshops and a specialist garden maintenance service.
