This small garden by Ruth Willmott Associates shows what is possible in an urban space. Instead of being laid open in a single view, it features several points of interest including a long vista punctuated by a row of Ilex crenata balls as well as upper and lower terraces. Contemporary boundary cladding and Spanish olive trees provide privacy and screening whilst planting in a soft mix of blues, purples, soft pinks and dots of white picks up on the interior of the ground-floor of the property that overlooks it, linking the exterior gracefully with the interior.
