Basement flat
Location:
Islington
Site description:
A small area with steps on its side.
The brief:
The client asks to design the front and back garden using exotic
plants.
The design process:
The slate and colourful concrete pavers were built before Roberto
decided on the plants. Large leaf and exotic Eryobotria japonica
were placed symmetrically on the corners. Large Phormium and Fatsia
japonica were used as the backbone while annuals were used in small
containers for colours throughout the season.
Grey zinc planters were placed around the steps and small space
to match the zinc colour of the step surface.
Major plant material: Eryobotria japonica, Phormium tenax, Fatsia
japonica, Hostas, purple Daturas, heucheras, etc
