Last Sunday we scraped off the sweat, put on more suntan
lotion and tootled over to Herne Hill for a garden on Shardcroft road that was
opening for the NGS for the first time.
It didn’t disappoint as the garden was well designed and
planted, and the cake was top notch.mmmm lemon drizzle with a side of chocolate
brownie.mmmmm.
The best bit which I would replicate was this amazing circle
of birch trees in the corner of the garden (to right of summerhouse) surrounding a circular gravel? middle
with 2 round benches with a fire pit in the middle. This was next to a magazine perfect littleshed/summerhouse hideaway which made me want to live there! Apart from that there was a
formal rectangular wildlife pond, and loose naturalistic planting from raised
designer beds. I was particularly taken by Achillea moonshine.
