Adding life and love back into a garden in London

The Love Your Garden team added life and love back into widow Sybil’s sad neglected back yard in Greenford London.

The long spacious garden was designed to be calm and uplifting with bold bursts of mood boosting colours. In the centre was a stunning purple fireplace that created a real wow. To match this the archway was painted in our Royal Exterior Lavender. Our Lavender is a soft pretty purple with a blue hue.

A shaded seating area was created with parasol trees, a living wall and a beautiful oak bench made by Bruce with the motto ‘Don’t worry’ carved in memory of Harold (Sybil’s late husband). A water feature added to the calmness of the area.

For the foster children that Sybil cares for there was a forest school area at the bottom of the garden complete with bug hotels, a pond and tree trunks seats. Dotted around the garden, amongst the new plants and flowers were some of the treasured plants that had many happy memories for Sybil and her late husband.

The relaxing area had a summer house complete with a juice bar. It was a perfect place to shelter from the rain as well as to entertain in. The outside was painted in our Royal Exterior Cashmere and inside was painted in Royal Exterior Miami Vibes.

Our Cashmere is a soft neutral shade that is as smooth and luxurious as the wool it is named after.

Royal Exterior Miami Vibes is a warm vibrant green that will add fun to any space. It worked beautifully with the cashmere.

The fences surrounding the garden were painted in our Royal Exterior Winter Sky. Winter Sky is an elegant colour and is a perfect choice when something a little warmer than grey is desired.
