Part 6 of 7 - Tina’s Garden Design & Makeover 🌸🌸🌸

In this week’s video we are continuing my New Garden Design Series at my very good friend Tina’s small garden in Langdon Hills, Essex, England.

Their garden had been rather neglected for the whole of 2024 whilst they’ve had some internal building work done, including the addition of a new conservatory.

They’ve asked me to help them with a complete garden makeover and today you can see Day 11 of our progress.

Last week we started over on Cocktail Corner by repositioning the stepping stones and adding and a beautiful large mirror (which we upcycled as they had it in their garage) at the the back of the pond, which we think looks stunning.

Today we are planting up the entire Cocktail Corner area, and here are the plants we have used:

Picea Pungens (Blue Spruce) ‘Superblue Seedling’
Olive Tree
Rhododendron
Chamaerops (European Fan Palm)
Rosa ‘Sunsilk’
Larix Karmpferi ‘Stiff Weeper’
Vinca Minor ‘Illumination’
Carex Morrowii ‘Ice Dance’
Campanula
Nepeta
Gentiana ‘Blue Herald’
Saxifrage
Physicarpus (Ninebark) ‘Lady in Red’
Senecio Angel Wings
Lupinus ‘West Country Manhattan Lights’
Spirea ‘Magic Carpet’
Sedum ‘Lime Zinger’
Sedum ‘Autumn Joy’
Ranunculus
Gazania
Sedum ‘Touchdown Teak’
Hebe ‘Dazzler’

I hope you enjoy this garden design series where we have been removing anything we don’t like, keeping the things we still love, and giving Tina & Keith the garden of their dreams 🩷
