Southport flower show 2013 A summer in Tuscany

A summer in Tuscany was my first show garden at the Southport flower show. This is an Italian inspired garden using natural York sandstone to create a curved front wall. Quartz paving was used to build a raised seating area, perfect for a bistro style table and chair set. To give the Italian feel all the way through, the planting used was structural with cypress and clipped bay, under planted with grasses and perennials.
