Barhi Garden - Layout

Garden Layout

In this stylised map of the garden, the green areas represent our verdant borders - not grass.

Despite the fact that this is not a large garden, we have tried to include a lot of interest, both in the planting and features.

The soil is clay based, though obviously a lot of work has been done to improve its construction, and slightly acidic.

The garden is south facing, and as such is a sun trap. This has enabled us to make the house a key part of the garden as it supports the beautiful very pale purple wisteria as well as a ceanothus.

For the most part, our fences have large shrubs in front of them with the aim of making our boundary less obvious.

Along side the nautilus theme, there are a number of frogs around the garden, from the pair playing leapfrog on the edge of the pond to the ones that guide the hose around the garden.
