blenheim

"an impressive space for relaxation and contemplation"

The Blenheim is based upon the formal parterre garden and creates an impressive space for relaxation and contemplation. The garden is divided into three spaces.

The area behind the house is large enough for tables and chairs and gives dynamic views down the garden framed by Italian Cypress trees.

The middle space focuses on a sundial/ birdbath and is laid out formally dividing the paths with a low clipped Box hedge.The planting between will consist of red Geraniums and scented Lavender.The paving in the middle will be based upon the sun radiating out from the sundial. At either side midway down the garden two benches will be located.

The end garden is the secret haven surrounded by a two metre tall yew hedge for quiet reading or enjoying the sunshine. The space will have a statue as its focal point and a mural on the end wall to give the impression that the garden continues forever.
