This beach garden has a contemporary feel, using old break-water timbers, rendered walls and seats built into the old sea wall and galvanised steel screens to filter the wind. Plants, of course have to cope with the full sea winds, and are newly planted in these pictures. |
front entrance to the house is sheltered enough to place a palm tree |
the main seating area is framed by breakwater timber pergola and deck |
the heavy timbers feel secure against the sea winds |
the garden is in two sections: one linear, the other curvilinear |
planting was carefully chosen to suit the position |
the curvilinear walls have an organic, informal feel |
