Drawing inspiration from the Mediterranean, this garden provides an escape from the everyday whilst addressing the necessity of climate adaptation in our gardens.
Inspired by the warmth and vibrancy of Greek landscapes, it sought to transplant their iconic features into British gardens. From the rustic allure of terracotta pots and natural limestone features, to the practicality of permeable landscaping and gravel pathways.
Every element was selected to infuse the timeless charm of the Mediterranean into this serene retreat while integrating drought-tolerant plants that can adapt to the changing UK climate.
