Australian Urban Jungle
Aoba Landscapes was thrilled to be working on this exciting project, delivering the design of garden designer, Harry Holding Garden Design. Together the seeds of a tropical urban jungle have been sown in a north-facing west London garden.
The aim of the garden was to embrace its shady nature and create an oasis that was a nod to the Australian owners’ roots; rich in texture and greenery. The plants for the new garden were selected for their interesting foliage, evergreen nature and resilient qualities. Through mimicking the structure of rainforests, the plants have been layered and structured to develop into its own jungle and create a verdant planting scheme the owners can enjoy year-round.
As the plants mature, they will immerse and soften the hard, industrial style structures such as the paving and deck, blurring the lines between ‘people space’ and planting. A granite plank paving path zig zags through the garden, slowing visitors down and encouraging them to stop and take in the greenery.
The garden was completed in May 2022.
