The tones of the cedar battening provide warmth and together with the pleached hornbeam trees along the back of the garden, they provide privacy and structure. Clipped Prunus lusitanica (Portuguese laurel) hedging creates an evergreen backdrop to the dining area and large planting border. A large multi stemmed Amelanchier lamarkii rises out from the surrounding planting of Salvia ‘Caradonna’, Euphorbia robbiae and frothy Geranium ‘Rosanne’ and Geranium phaeum ‘Samabor’. This softer planting provides a lovely contrast to the clipped domes of Buxus sempervirens that punctuate and surround this large border.
