A ramped path for ease of access to the greenhouse area
This suburban garden was designed for a family with young children, and adults who enjoy gardening and also like to entertain. The rear garden, with its large lawn, play area, greenhouse, extensive paved areas and gazebo, is the practical area for everyday activities. The front garden, with its flowing shapes and detailed planting, forms a relaxed setting for the house.
