1# Bold Colours • Strong Shapes • Low Maintenance

Thanks to TV shows like the Chelsea Flower Show and the influence of garden designers like Diarmuid Gavin, low-maintenance gardens remain a favorite choice. By blending vibrant colors with robust shapes, you can create an easy-to-care-for outdoor space.

 


2# Plant in Groups

Don’t stress over plant selection. Opt for striking shapes and vibrant hues. Plant in groups, using odd numbers, to add bursts of color to your garden. Consider crocosmia and alliums planted in groups, complemented by grasses like festuca or carex. For a more delicate touch, include agapanthus and verbenas.

 


3# Add Contemporary Landscaping Materials

Contemporary paving materials include granite and porcelain.  Artificial grass can be used to produce a virtually maintenance-free garden.  Looking  great,  all year round.

 

Enhance the contemporary design of your garden in Exmouth with captivating shapes and vibrant colors.

Shapes: Utilize structural elements like phormium, miscanthus, and bamboo to add dimension.

Colors: Introduce hues with agapanthus, crocosmia, and verbena for an eye-catching display.

Formal Shapes • Straight Lines • Add Simple Quality Materials

Opt for a timeless approach. Infuse your garden design with a classic aesthetic. Plants and paving play a pivotal role in establishing the formal shape and structure of the garden, often laid out in straight lines. Occasionally, repeating geometric patterns are employed. Border edges and lawns are adorned with natural stone setts, offering a refined finish. Whether the materials lean towards traditional or contemporary, the key is to maintain a clean and uncluttered appearance

Box Hedging • Lavender • Bold Shapes & Softer Plants

Use box hedging to frame areas.  Combine with formal topiary and classic plants such as agapanthus and lavender.  Always plant in groups for maximum impact.  Bold shaped plants can be used.  As long as they are softened by other plants.  For example, combine phormiums with verbenas and crocosmias.

 

Formal Plants · Colour

Formal Plants: Include box hed ging, clipped bay standards, skimmia, and hebes for structured elegance.

Colorful Plants: Introduce allium, lavender, white hydrangea, rudbeckia, and cyclamens for vibrant splashes of color.

 


5# Nature Garden ⋅ Gardeners  Topsham

Think about incorporating plants that attract wildlife to your garden. Lavender is excellent for pollinating insects like bees, while buddleia is a favorite among butterflies. Grasses like miscanthus provide a habitat for insects. Sow patches of wildflowers to create a charming wildflower meadow, which not only benefits insects but also serves as a food source for birds. Trim back at the end of the growing season.

Blues • Yellows • Trees • Shrubs

Blue: Include allium, echinacea, lavender, and verbena for a soothing blue palette.

Yellow: Incorporate rudbeckia, sedum, sunflower, achillea (white), and festuca grasses for vibrant yellow hues.

Trees: Plant acer, silver birch, photinia, and climbers like hedera (ivy) and jasmine for vertical interest.

Shrubs: Integrate buddleia, ceanothus, hebe, ligustrum, mahonia, skimmia, and viburnum for diverse shrubbery.
