Location

Oxfordshire

Year

2025

Scope

Survey, masterplan, planting design, build supervision

01 · The brief

Bring a neglected walled garden back into daily use without losing the patina of its old walls.

02 · Design challenge

Frost pockets, tired soil and a single narrow gate for every delivery.

03 · Concept

Two crossing walks divide the garden into rooms: borders to the south, produce to the north and a quiet lawn at the centre.

04 · The completed space
