Marcel de Lannoy's Garden Addlestone Surrey UK


Marcel de Lannoy's garden in Addlestone Surrey is packed with bulbs. He's mad about bulbs, calling this small town space Little Amsterdam. Hot colours nestle easily against the cool tones of the blue washed ship lap fencing. Bulbs are easily available on the Internet, from your garden centre or even your local supermarket. They add colour and variety to any garden all year around if you choose the right cultivars. Upright , structural plants like Cypress shrubs add detail higher up. Modern garden furniture adds interest and invites socialising to the garden space. A parasol offers protection during hot months and shelter when raining. Al Fresco dining is de rigeur as soon as the weather warms up and the conservatory is great for reading Sunday mornings. Although there is a car park to the rear, this is concealed in part by a wooden trellis at the end. Concrete stepping stones and a turfed path lead the eye toward the bench.
