This garden is designed around a healing sanctuary. Originally the client wanted a bee garden, but as we discussed ideas, it soon became clear she was more interested in creating a "look" to complement her holistic therapy business. This customer was very hands on, adding lots of her touches and ideas.
There is a large tree in the garden creating dry shade.

All the planting is white and green. I included white foxgloves (which the bees will like) and white hardy geraniums, "Kashmir White", to represent clouds, as that is in the name of her enterprise.
A white shade tolerant Clematis brightens the back fence. Next Spring I will add lots of snowdrops.

The following Spring, the client decided she would like a path leading to the cabin, a patio area by the cabin door, a decking area by her backdoor and a raised bed for growing the herbs she uses in her preparations, so team Bee Happy Gardens came to her rescue again.
A big pot of Agapanthus added to the patio later finished it off.
