A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM

Like the ripples in a pond, the cool shady tree in the centre of this garden anchors the design as it gently radiates outwards. The circular recycled brick paving beneath the tree reinforces the ripple effect until it reaches curved gabion walls uphill, and Carey Gully Stone steps downhill.

Filled with recycled brick, the stepped gabions provide both an effective way of managing the change in level and a beautiful texture container for the herb garden. The bespoke pizza oven adds European flair to the space. A home cook will delight in being able to reach across to the fresh herbs at your fingertips.

Relaxing on the timber bench under the fairy-light wrapped tree really is a midsummer night’s dream.
