Devon Charm - Angela Morley Garden Design

I started working with my clients in 2013 and together we developed a beautiful, wildlife friendly garden from a huge flat circular lawn. By 2017 the garden was gently terraced (50cm retaining walls) into three distinct areas: a walled kitchen garden, two pool gardens and a rill garden. All the hedges were planted including pleached cut leaf crab apple, Malus transitoria.

Last week I had the great pleasure of re visiting the garden with a view to developing one last area, the lawn above the ha-ha.

*Hornbeam and yew hedges divide the garden*, there are glimpses through to other areas

*Clipped hornbeam columns provide habitat for birds and insects. *Hydrangea aspera* is used here, its loose habit providing contrast – I love it’s coarse leaves and mauve lace cap flowers.*

*The ‘canal’ is flanked by nectar rich herbaceous borders with clipped yew topiary*
