This garden created a huge logistical challenge, being a steeply sloping overgrown site with no road access. Originally two properties, the brief was to create a single unified garden with useable spaces and access across the slope and down to the estuary.

​

Access was negotiated with The Duchy of Cornwall and all materials and machinery had to be lifted over the sea wall. We created a series of walls, steps and terraces which were clothed in wild flowers and dense evergreen shrubs.

Close to the house a new terrace and broad steps linked planting and lawn to the wilder gardens below.
