Cottage style garden, West Sussex

When Debbie and Oliver moved to this beautiful listed country house a couple of years ago, the garden, surrounded by fields, presented them with a large blank canvas. They asked Joe Perkins to help them by restructuring this large space and designing a garden in harmony with the house. Two large borders which lead to the pond, were created with a soft cool palette of pale blue and pinks; Roses, Salvias, Geraniums and Stachys byzantina were planted. The planting becomes wilder as you move away from the house, blending in with the surrounding landscape.
