b'W H A T A T R A N S F O R M A T I O NA RIVERSIDEGARDENHaving been invited to advise on this riversidegarden as part of Garden Re-leaf Day (see last twopages for details), we were thrilled to later developthe ideas into a complete redesign. In housedesigner Sophie Green only joined us in 2020 buther stunning design shows such a fabulous grasp ofthe sense of place. Warm coloured porcelain reflects the light in thisNorth facing location, whilst darker plankingseparates the zones, and leads you down towardsthe riverside dock, accessed by bespoke galvanisedsteps. Metal containers with self watering reservoirsplanted with shade tolerant Hellebores, Acers andFerns ensures a low maintenance scheme, with abackdrop of woven metal screening echos thesilvery ripples of the River Thames. We cant waitfor the opening party!I have enjoyed working with you and Sophie and amvery pleased with the outcome of the project. Thestandard of workmanship is exemplary (SBPangbourne)'
