"Jane Finch has been caring for our garden for some years now. It is a smallish inner-city garden but Jane has a creative gift which has transformed the garden from ordinary to special - so much so that it is invariably the subject of compliments from visitors."
This sunny, north facing garden is used as an outdoor living area. It is set high and overlooks the street from the concrete patio at the top of the entry path. The garden has been altered over the years to adapt to the loss of large trees and is currently an open, sunny patio style garden set on different levels stepping up from the street. It is planted in soft tones of silver, green and white and has been designed for minimum maintenance while still giving a sense of being surrounded by luxuriant growth. Bulbs and deciduous trees along the fence lines provide seasonal interest. The small inner city terrace nature of the site mean that side paths and rear access need to be functional and plantings there are based on maximising the utility of those spaces.
