Courtyard garden, Hertfordshire

This expansive Hertfordshire garden was designed to create a sense of journey, balance, and immersion in planting. At its heart sits a centrally positioned seating area, forming a calm focal point and a place to pause, surrounded by layers of lush, thoughtfully curated planting that provide structure, seasonal interest, and privacy.

A gently meandering gravel pathway weaves its way through the garden, guiding movement and revealing changing views as it unfolds. The path is framed with flowering perennials that soften the landscape, add texture and colour throughout the seasons, and enhance the natural flow of the space. The result is a garden that feels both generous and intimate—inviting exploration while offering moments of quiet retreat.
