An olive grove on your rooftop, sir?

Article Abstract:

People who live in fashionable parts of London, England, want gardens that are attractive but do not require much maintenance, according to garden designer Joe Swift. He has gained extensive experience of dealing with the demands and constraints of small town gardens. He likes plants to be placed in environments in which they will thrive, but is also keen to allow clients to use their imagination. He favours industry-inspired design, including tall, narrow earthenware pots and galvanized scoops.

Still going at a good clip

Article Abstract:

Haseley Court, Oxfordshire, was saved from ruin in the early 1950s by Nancy Lancaster, who became famous as a decorator, hostess, interior designer and gardener. She spent three decades remaking the 10-acre garden, planting large runs of hornbeam and reintroducing topiary. A nut tree walk is underplanted with hellbores and blubells, and great efforts have been made throughout the garden to achieve a balance with nature.

The writing's on the wall for traditional gardens

Article Abstract:

Garden designer and architect Christopher Bradley-Hole has adopted some unusual approaches to design for a long, thin garden in Chelsea, London, England. The design is completely modern in concept and uses modern materials. However, it creates three areas of classical proportions, and shows great talent in manipulating space. The spaces harmonize very well, creating an overall sense of peace and tranquility.
