We are all very pleased how our design tranformed the front of this ’80’s house in Cambridge. We kept the planting very simple, using Lavendula stoechas (French Lavender)  as an edging and Stipa tenuissima (Mexican Feather Grass) and the overall effect is just as we expected. In the shadiest section of the garden (under the far hedge) we have planted Blechnum spicant (Hard Fern) which will do well here and being evergreen will act as good ground cover throughout the year. 

So, another garden completed and another happy customer!

Why not visit us this weekend at Royston Garden Centre - if you want to chat through a garden design idea you have for your garden feel free to come over to our display stand. Or bring a few pictures and we can give you some ideas.  And we have our landscapers (www.brownie-points.biz) on the stand too so we can look at all aspects of garden design and construction.  They have a wide range of items for sale at Royston Garden Centre from plants to garden furniture, clothing to barbecues - and a cafe too so a great place to visit. 

Come and see us at Royston Garden Centre
