The owners of this garden, James and Karen Howard-Tripp have tried to create a refuge and peace in a built up area. The couple has lived for five years in the house and they have created a number of small spaces that are different to wander through. There is a small pond, falling water, flower beds, paths and shade areas. A hedge has been grown for privacy and there are a number of smaller flowering plants and creepers. This garden is an ongoing and ever evolving venture.
The garden of Michael and Jennifer Weetch at “The Flamboyants”, Upton Hill, St Michael has evolved over the years, designed with a series of rooms under huge Flamboyant trees, the challenge of a shady garden.
