ALEX PLUMLEY GARDEN DESIGN
A selection of gardens I've been lucky enough to design over the last 15+ years...
A rare opportunity to work with a different palette of materials. The curved microcement planters double as bench seating, while the copper-clad feature wall was inspired by a trip to Seville and the beautiful use of copper in gardens there.
Grey Steel
A new build with a garden that had been left as a building site. The steel used to terrace the garden and some beautiful Egyptian stone used create paths.
Long & Shady
A shady garden now with zones and planting vibrant planting along the sunny side. Breaking up areas for seating and games.
A contemporary family garden designed for relaxed living and entertaining in West Sussex.
Gravel & Sculpture Garden
An old cottage renovated on the edge of farm land. The client wanted to remove the lawn and add in various features they'd collected over the years. This included a large sculpture and bird bath and fire pit.
Finished project and waiting for the plants to do their thing. The garden sloped at the back, hidden by a shed. We used the slope and the space to create a sunken seating area, with fire pit and built in bench. Surrounded by tree ferns of different sizes which created a very calming and still space to sit.
More Microcement
This small new build need updating. Another sloped garden providing an opportunity for a sunken terrace which helped to create a level lawn. Floating steps added a contemporary feel while offering up more space to fit a BBQ and additional seating area. The brick wall was rendered in microcement, providing a very striking backdrop for the plants.
