Entertaining Three Generations
The brief
The client’s late husband had been in charge of the garden. As circumstances changed, it was time for a refresh and a more flexible space.
Site: A small - medium-sized flat garden on a Bristol terrace.
Requirements:
An ‘adult swing’, a swing suitable and safe for anyone of any age or size, solo
An area to chill out and enjoy the garden in peace
Low maintenance planting
Rationalisation of the existing shed and greenhouse
Results:
A space for play
A bespoke swing with a large seat, surrounded by aesthetically pleasing safety bark. The swing is now enjoyed by grandparents and grandchildren alike.
A relaxing space
A new end-of-garden hideout with a small patio and rocking chair amidst the planting.
Low maintenance
New low-maintenance borders to complement existing planting.
