Medditerranean Garden - Le Manior

We have been acting for many years as a consultant for this privately owned hotel, since its present owners took it over and renovated it. The brief was to use a range of plants which are normally grown in this region, so lovely mature olive trees, together with Agave Americana as the main structure, with a whole assortment of smaller plants such as Lavender, Santolina incana, Helichysum augustifolium, Aloe rookappie to name but a few. These were planted in a contemporary way, as we planted them in straight lines on a grid, so giving it a very architectural identidy from the beginning and as they grew the design became softer. We also planted lovely over-scaled cream clay containers with huge mounds of Lavender. We have recently designed a possible third phase to this project.
