‘I met with many designers before having the pleasure of meeting Freddy. None of them were able to visualize with such precision the garden I wanted. He engaged at an emotional level and worked closely with me to create our dream garden. He worked meticulously and passionately to fill it with beautiful plants. The result is stunning and I would recommend that anyone looking for their dream garden consults Freddy.’ Sylvie Frost 

‍A Victorian townhouse with open-plan, contemporary living spaces. Our clients requested a tidy but floriferous oasis with paved areas: a relaxing space full of seasonal colour and enhanced privacy.

The concept combines a formal, contemporary urban style, with the romance of cottage gardens. The layout optimizes the available space, creating three abundant planting zones. An axis from the kitchen door to the back of the garden is a formal element.

Yew hedging provides screening. Clipped, evergreen balls are focal points. The limestone paving creates a clean foil to the planting. A pair of sculptural, multi-stem Amelanchier lamarckii introduce verticality and seasonal interest. Planting, a palette of blues, whites, dusky pinks and deep burgundy accents, covers the full-sun to full-shade, four season spectrum.
