CHELSEA EMBANKMENT GARDEN
This Mediterranean style Rear Garden is a fabric of overlapping textures and colours, both subtle and bold, with soft complex flora : flowers of purples, blues, pinks, whites and creams : a sinuous flow of block planting, achieved by carefully assembled patterns of repetition and contrast.
At the far end of the garden, an intimate dining space entirely walled by vertical planting : a Living Wall - a fusion of flowering plants and herbs, provide a rare 'slice of nature' in the heart of Chelsea.
At intervals, Cyprus trees break the formality and architectural lines of the boundary walls and trellis. In-between, a wide variety of Mediterranean planting combine to provide a fusion of the formal and the wild.
