A colourful exotic garden with many interesting plant species and feature lighting. The raised patio has a mixture of rendered walls and reclaimed brick planters filled with evergreen planting and flowering perennials. The bespoke water feature with three spouts for sound effect adds to the jungle effect of the garden, and the heavy duty metal container maintains a contemporary look as well. To match the hard landscaping, the overall planting has a mixture of purple and silver leaved foliage. The bamboo screening at the back is for privacy from the neighbours.

“People usually associate exotic planting with big foliage plants, like arum lilies, tree ferns and Hostas. By mixing these with flowering perennials we can create a truly eclectic and colourful mixture.”
