Living beside the Grand Union Canal changes the way a garden behaves. The light is softer, the air is damper, the breeze is stronger, and the verge or edge planting can go from neat to unruly rather quickly.

If your garden has got away from you a bit, you are not alone.

Imagine stepping into your private sanctuary--a lush, peaceful garden shielded from prying eyes and the bustle of daily life. Creating a secret garden at home doesn't require stone walls or dense hedges.
