The opportunity
A chance to create a true Mediterranean planting scheme doesn't come along often in Yorkshire. But on this sunny hillside, just a stone's throw from Brimham Rocks, the conditions were too good to miss.

The site
The border sits on a gritty, free-draining slope with very little soil, in full sun and fully exposed. Tough conditions for most plants, but exactly what Mediterranean plants love.

The brief
The clients wanted a border that would need minimal maintenance, with plenty of height to soften and hide the bare stone slope behind it.

The result
A distinctive, low-maintenance border that thrives on the hillside, turning a difficult slope into one of the garden's best features.
