This garden epitomises ‘city chic’ without taking itself too seriously. Small but impeccably formed, it ties in with the stylish and ecclectic interiors of its owners. Bespoke natural stone setts were used to create the patio area and a row of liquidambar trees provide dappled shade in summer and striking colours in the autumn. A topiary box turkey adds an element of fun and irreverence to an otherwise classic and timeless design.
