The Riverbank Garden
A bland space under the ancient poplar tree was converted into a secluded retreat in the shade with a swing seat. A copper water feature sits at the end of the gravel path.

A shaded retreat

Riverbank planting
Silver foliage with grasses and ferns

Looking down from the riverbank
The white variegated cornus adds some brightness under the poplar tree screening its base in a difficult area. The red stems add colour for winter

The view into the woodland
In winter the view from the riverbank looking over the swing seat into the woodland garden
