I truly identify with this home-owner. I remember helplessly trying to stop Fudge from walking roughshod our lovingly prepared allotment beds and seedlings. They have designed this attractive yet, at the same time, dog-friendly garden with damage limitation in mind.
There’s an obvious pathway – to keep spaniel, Coco on the straight and narrow. They’ve sown robust plants that can stand up to being pushed past and trampled; bamboo, phormium (New Zealand flax) and yucca. They also add shape, drama and lend a tropical ambiance.
That giant outdoor Anglepoise is a real talking point – and extends the length of time you can spend outdoors to well into the night. Probably my favourite feature, is the stunning 1m2 porcelain tiles. Named ‘carpet for the garden’ they’re printed with what looks to be an antique Persian rug design. It really makes it feel like bringing the inside out!
