Finally - a spot to unwind and take it easy

As a high-energy personal trainer MB has little time to relax, so what he has, he wants to enjoy to the full.

Freshening up with Japanese maple and lush bamboo

We discussed various options and soon agreed: a planting of dense, shade-tolerant and winter-loving bamboo that would transform the grey place into an oasis for him and his family. Add a Japanese maple and insect-friendly perennials and spring flowers.

The window boxes on the street side also got an upgrade from annual flowers to a varied planting concept that will grow back year after year.
