We love a nice lawn at Lilybud, but they're not for every garden. Our weather is increasingly erratic, often with long periods of drought in spring/summer/autumn and monsoon-like downpours any time of the year. Climate scientists predict that winters will get wetter. These weather extremes mean that maintaining a good looking lawn takes time and money. A good lawn is a very restful thing to look upon and of course, for playing on. It's also good for biodiversity and carbon capture, so in a balanced garden with plenty of plant borders with flowers and berries for pollinators and birds and small mammals, a lawn is a lovely thing. But it's not for everyone. We create plenty of plant filled beautiful gardens without lawns, as shown here and in the montage below, which features many other gardens we've created over the past 20 years.

Carefully chosen and designed structures have transformed the feel of the garden.
