A Chelsea garden

The owners of this beautiful Chelsea townhouse asked us to create a relaxed and subtle space that is welcoming to family and friends, a haven from city life, sheltered by overhanging trees and luscious plants. They also requested a good view of the garden from the front door as you enter the house. For this vista we selected a beautiful old looking Fig tree which we elevated in a pot and underplanted with thyme. We installed an almost secret but rather beautiful shed, a bbq in another and plenty of spots for morning coffee, dining and relaxed seating.
