This city garden already had a natural stone boundary wall. However, it was sloping and featureless. We created two distinct level terraces linked by a natural granite wall. This blends with the existing stone wall and also provides a strong natural feature within the garden. This city garden already had a natural stone boundary wall.

Fox Garden Design took top prize in the engaging space category for our "Islands" garden at Bloom 2010.
The design concept contrasts what we see in nature - with 3 rolling islands of land surrounded by the stillness of water. The first island is planted with a soft flowing carpet of small blue daisies. A central island is planted with grass for sitting, and the third island is planted with a graceful sedge. The garden is clad with Liscannor dry stone walling.

A relaxed, romantic garden, the perfect companion for an old house of weathered stone. A relaxed, romantic garden, the perfect companion for an old house of weathered stone.
The Bloom garden is simply called The Orb - A space for celebration. As the name suggested, this garden was created for celebrating with friends and family in circles of interleaving social spaces, features and planting.
At the heart of this garden is the Orb. Inspired by Chinese lanterns, it's the bright space at the center of any party. The Orb offers secluded seating, enticing patterns of light and glimpses of the surrounding lush planting.
To the left stands a lustrous copper beech. To the right, a Kilkenny limestone circle with a hand crafted stone barbecue. A curve of hedging floats through water and stepping-stones lead into the main garden. In the background, the pale leaves of a Tulip tree catch the light.
We got together with Glenisk at Bloom 2011. See us all at Bloom in this short video

This garden was a wide, long site, completely blank other than an existing patio. My design concept was to break this space up and create a very natural garden. In this way, the harsh boundaries lines would be softened and the garden would look larger as an added benefit.
We created a raised area in the middle of the garden using large boulders and flat stepping stones. This created a secluded area at the rear of the garden with a peaceful space for relaxing.
