GARDEN DESIGN CASE STUDY
A GARDEN TO ENJOY
Josie and Charlie Irons are fashion and lifestyle bloggers who moved into their beautiful country house in the Cotswolds in the Spring of 2020, just before Covid hit.
A border with naturalistic-style planting extends the width of the house. This bed is filled with plants including Salvias, Asters, Sedums, and grasses

The garden consisted of open lawns and little screening. Designed by Liz Nicholson, the garden was developed into garden rooms giving places to go and hide!
It took the team of Nicholsons softworks landscapers a couple of months to bring the somewhat neglected garden alive with colourful, decorative borders.
The planting of new trees and hedges has been used where privacy is required but also to define boundaries and create spaces for an orchard and a kitchen garden. Several dead or poor specimen trees, overgrown shrubs and some failing evergreens had to be removed and other existing trees were improved through tree surgery.
