A long, narrow courtyard garden in the heart of the harbour town of Whitstable, Kent. A chunky oak deck sits directly outside the kitchen to catch the morning sun. Two characterful Fig trees frame the view of the simple dining terrace, which is reached via a sunken oak boardwalk through long borders either side. Pleached Crab apple trees planted in the crushed shell surface of the dining terrace provide privacy and vertical interest in the garden. Cleft chestnut posts create screening from the potting table and utility area to the rear of the garden.

Valeriana officinalis | Whitstable, East Kent
A tall, light and ephemeral plant that reaches for the skies. It creates large plumes of small clustered white flows that fade to a dusky pink over time. It creates a strong architectural presence, yet remains soft and light all summer long.
Entertaining Space | Whitstable, East Kent
The central space provides room for morning coffee, lunch beneath the shade of the pleached trees and a formal dinner with friends and family, all surrounded by an abundance of spot planted Mediterranean plants and scent filled Trachelospermum jasminoides ‘Star of Toscana’ climbers.
Allium atropurpurea | Whitstable, East Kent
Faded seed heads of Allium atropurpurea take on an interesting and sculptural form and still provide great structure throughout the year. Mixed with Poppies and Geraniums create an all summer long display.
