Cinema Paradiso

RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show 2011
Garden Style:
Town/courtyard
Description:
One of my favourite of the small gardens - I think because its a garden that will just work in the urban environment most of us garden in. I love the little details of the planting the Mentha that spills over onto the patio (far less invasive than Mind your own business, and smells nice, too), the subtle use of the succulents (great for the urban environment) and, perhaps my favourite bit of planting of the show, the collection of dwarf lavenders above the seating.
