Clifftop Coastal Garden

This Cornish clifftop garden with magnificent sea views and open aspect requires resilient coastal planting to cope with the exposed situation and buffeting winds.

The rear garden laid to lawn and wildflower meadow is fringed with large sunny south facing herbaceous borders. A choice of salt tolerant plants have been selected to provide a colourful planting scheme from Spring to Autumn.

The front garden gains protection from the easterly winds via high boundary walls and the lee of the house. Here Olive trees and mediterranean plants flourish in the more sheltered microclimate.
