Mapperley Park, Nottingham

A garden design for a Victorian home in Mapperley Park, Nottingham, balancing formal structure close to the house with a softer, more naturalistic landscape beyond. Productive raised beds, brick paving and pleached fruit trees form a semi-walled garden with strong ties to the period architecture, while the main garden opens out into a more relaxed space shaped by curved gravel paths, layered perennial planting, a wildlife pond and informal seating. Natural materials and a restrained palette allow the planting to take centre stage, creating a garden that feels rooted in its setting while supporting contemporary outdoor living.
