Our style of gardening We wanted to create a garden to be used by the family and to be exciting in all four seasons. We totally re-landscaped and re-planted our garden without outside help and most of the work has been done since 1992. All but two of all the plants in our garden have been planted by us. Landscaping our garden has been like creating a giant flower arrangement. We have given consideration to colour, texture, scale, balance, proportion, unity, rhythm and harmony. “Quiet” spaces are important and are provided for example by conifers and evergreens. Bold focal points are a recurring theme. We especially contrast the colours red, blue and yellow and contrast bold shapes and forms. Plants need one another to show themselves at their best – red acers come alive when placed near a yellow holly and the addition of a blue conifer really completes the setting. When landscaping, the position was chosen for a specimen plant, to serve as an 'anchor' for other plants. Its position was checked from various vantage points – and if it passed that test then other plants were placed around it, making sure that there was a variety of colour, shape and form. Mixing evergreen and deciduous plants made for all-year-round interest. Hard landscaping The oriental pagoda is a major focal point for the whole garden and provides welcome shade in the summer. Together with the jungle, with its palms, bamboo and banana, it creates a screen and divides the garden, making it seem much larger. Other wooden structures in the garden, such as the seating and the pergola, are stained the same dark brown as the pagoda and they also take on a role as focal points. We chose not to put climbing plants on the pergola and this accentuates its architectural features. Red oriental ornaments come into their own in winter when most red foliage is absent and they also act as focal points amongst the plants. We have become increasingly skilled at working with York stone in paving and other garden features such as the garden streams. The large stream was built York stone, concrete and reinforcing iron and has a 3000 gallons per hour pump and a reservoir holding 75 gallons of water. Inspiration Some of our tropical themes were inspired by our travels abroad in Central America, India and China and our travel in the UK, in particular our visit to the Lost Gardens of Heligan.
