This design makes the most of the old agricultural yard surrounding beautifully converted residential barns, set in the idyllic East Suffolk countryside. Hard and soft materials are carefully chosen to sensitively integrate the garden with the character of the barns and the local landscape setting. Sweeping, curving pathways lead through the rest of the garden, connecting various destination points and seating areas. Naturalistic planting design flows throughout the garden, set against a restrained hardscape of limestone pavers and gravel. Perennial planting areas wrap around main seating areas, while expanses of wildflower meadow feature an inviting firepit seating spot in the evening sun. 
Another garden I need to stash away in my inspiration folder as this one checks all the boxes for the things I love – particularly a gravel path weaving through grasses and wildflower meadows. The wild look but contained and organized is perfection. By garden design studio Colm Joseph Gardens.
