The Icing on the Cake!

You know you have satisfied clients when they not only throw a big garden party for friends, family and all involved in the creation of the garden, but they also have a cake made specially ... in the shape of the garden!

I've been very lucky and had some wonderful clients over the years, and for me, seeing and hearing about the pleasure they get from their new garden really is the icing on the cake! This particular project was a real treat, and everyone involved really went the extra mile to produce a fantastic result: a credit to the whole team. The garden owners are caring for it lovingly, so that it is developing to its full potential. It's hard to believe that the garden is less than a year old, as it is already looking very established. I'm happy that the garden fits very comfortably both in the wider setting and with the house, and that it reflects the personalities and tastes of its characterful owners.

As the evening cooled down and the party goers retreated indoors, I got to see how it looks at night time; a side I hadn't been able to see before, despite having designed the lighting scheme. Quite subtle, but very atmospheric.

Hi Rose. This looks wonderful, love the up-lighting.

Did you include an Olive tree in the design? Jas www.villaggioverde.co.uk

Thanks Jas! No olive trees - they are not reliably hardy round here, sadly!
