DE BEAUVOIR GARDEN

Views from the house look out onto a densely planted slope, where bespoke carved stone steps appear to emerge from the landscape. These steps lead to a dining and BBQ area, and on to an organically shaped wildflower turf lawn, bordered by lush packed with perennials and grasses. At the rear, the garden opens up to reveal a hidden cedar-clad hot tub nestled within the planting. As the client is a chef, the garden is padded out with edible herbs and fruiting shrubs, carefully woven among the ornamental species.
