the august lull is not occurring....

Another busy week at greencube. Planting in Langton Green, Survey in Sevenoaks, Survey in Eynsford and working on a big design in Pluckley for the arrival of a german kit home made by Meisterstueck on a difficult profile site - we love a challenge!

We have also visited a new client in Tunbridge Wells and a visit to a garden under construction in New Barn, Kent that we are project monitoring. All in all a very busy week.

Here's the garden in Langton Green, almost complete. 





We've included rivers of boulders and pebbles in the courtyard garden and a rustic green oak deck that fits well with the barn and its rustic style.

This wonderful oak framed barn will be on sale in September. Here we have taken the context/ setting and created a rustic garden that suits the style of the property.

Harriet has been covering for Gem(who is on holiday) on some of our maintenance contracts, including our large garden at Langton Green. See images taken last week. 






This gorgeous photo was taken by Harriet, capturing the Erigeron 'Sea Breeze' and Erigeron karvinskianus planted on a bank down to the meadow.













































Meanwhile a garden that was completed back in late spring in Matfield, near Paddock Wood is starting to take shape.

Our clients house originally an old hop pickers hut inspired us to include and develop the design to include hop poles within the scheme. A garden design delivered for a special birthday present.

Our clients sent these images in this week to show how the meadow has developed in its first season.

The hammock is situated next to the meadow on a green oak sleeper deck, what a way to relax and enjoy their new space.

Sculpture in the garden, greencube designs a sculptural ball garden

I'm still out taking photos of all the gardens that have been constructed in the last year and last night I visited our clients in Borough Green, Kent to photograph this garden. We designed the terracing around this very beautiful home and picked up on the existing buff coloured stone detailing that formed the sills and frames around the doors and windows. A complimentary colour  of yellow granite was finally chosen (Yellow Granite paving from CED) and a sculptural border of yellow granite balls (from Rock Unique) underplanted with Ilex crenata balls and Libertia grandiflora. Oak benches and oak arches have also been included and some division of zones created by deck laid flush with granite. This scheme fuses well with the house and setting. I will return in August to take further photos when the garden furniture is in place and hopefully get some night shots, lighting not yet fully completed at time of visit. Greencube planted this garden in two phases, the trees, ro

But my favourite is most definitely the Telegraph Garden

Designed by Cleve West, a magical space with walls retaining at seat level, so wherever you walk you can pause, sit and enjoy, I managed to gain access to Cleve's garden and even had a brief chat with him. I loved it even more once in the space. The star plant at the show for me is most certainly Dianthus cruentus, with its crimson flowers which looked wonderful in amongst the cotswold stone, with its elegant stems and deep red flower. The statuesque columns, the wonderful dry stone walls and planting that had space, looked natural and certainly did not look like it was only planted a week ago!!!! The play with water with the water pipes and channel through the garden with stone stepping stones, all beautifully executed and inspirational.

greencube's garden in Langton Green, near Tunbridge Wells features in Dutch Magazine this month

Our large garden in Langton Green  designed back in 2010 features in a Dutch magazine for April - Groei & Bloei , I had to use google translator to work out what they said: dutch "door efficient gebruik te maken van niveauverschillen ontstaan op een klein oppervlak twee terrassen, gescheiden door een prachtige plantenbak, die tevens dienst doet als regleuning van de zitbank." literally translates to: "through efficient use of level differences arising on a small surface two terraces, separated by a beautiful planter, who also serves as backrest of the sofa." my dutch is not too good! Here are some more photos of this garden:
