A terraced garden for an elegant townhouse in Bridgnorth, enjoying sweeping views over the River Severn and the rolling countryside beyond. Influenced by Mediterranean garden traditions, the design balances the formality of a walled garden with the softness of the surrounding rural landscape. Strong evergreen structure is carefully offset by relaxed, romantic planting, creating a refined yet natural atmosphere — a true romantic secret garden.
Planting is layered and expressive, with a loose Mediterranean character. A fragrant lavender ground layer is combined with evergreen topiary through the middle tier, while generous hydrangeas and roses soften the upper layers. Rambling roses climb across brick walls and the house façade, bringing movement, scent, and seasonal interest to the garden.
A series of crafted features anchors the design, including an ornate brick fireplace, a reclaimed lead trough water feature, fine terracotta pots, an ancient olive tree, fastigiate yew planting, and decorative metalwork woven throughout the garden.
