The client here requested high raised beds and Green & Gorgeous came up with this design, using a traditional greenhouse, with very untraditional raised beds! Larch sleepers were installed vertically making these beds a really striking feature.
The vegetable garden sits on 3 tiers with the greenhouse the central point.
The newly planted pergola with the raised beds full of home grown produce.
A few years on, and the planting design in front has matured. The beds are full of produce and some of the other elements of the design can be seen in the background.
