A pocket size garden for an interior designer and her family

This compact garden, a stone’s throw from Hampstead Heath, is filled with evergreen trees, shrubs - and we even found space for growing fruit.

New raised beds constructed from brickwork and flint add character and depth to the space. A fountain introduces the essential sound of running water.

A simple planting scheme of mature magnolia, taxus and prunus lusitanica combines with deep brown cobbles and an intricate layout to make this space feel instantly inviting - and full of character.
