This flower garden illustrates how a relatively simple design can work to create a restful and relaxing space.

The flowing curves in the garden lead the eye to carefully positioned features, such as the terracotta urn nestled amongst the surrounding planting. The climber-covered pergola also echoes the curves within the garden; this feature adds an element of mystery creating an intriguing walkway.

The relaxed feel is enhanced by the style of planting; drifts of perennials mingle into one another to produce a harmonious blend of colour. Shrubs are used as a backdrop to the perennials and give a structural element throughout the seasons.
