City Garden, Putney

This contemporary garden, located in South West London, has been created by garden designer Lucy Willcox. It needed to reflect the modern design of the property's interior; its large windows offering wide vistas on the exterior and the raised decking offering straight access to the outside. The space has therefore been divided into a series of outdoor rooms, each with a different purpose; lounging, sitting and al fresco dining. In July, the mixture of planted evergreen is peppered with perennials such as Persicaria and Phlox which bring colour to the garden. The front garden has also been divided into two distinct spaces, a room with sculptural evergreens and behind it, a kitchen garden. This garden was a finalist of the SGD awards in 2016.
