Architectural Planting in Raised Railway Sleeper Beds

It is amazing how the construction of stained black sleeper beds running around the boundary of this Llandaff garden can work fantastically as a complete contrast to the bright white wall as well as giving the garden a sense of structure and formality. The white wall is a striking backdrop for the taller, architectural plants. The bold foliage plants Acer griseum, Fatsia, Bamboo & Phormium are softened by using ground cover planting Agapanthus, Lavendar, Heuchera and using round Box Ball topiary shapes as punctuation marks throughout the planting.
