Laying out back yard appartment in Leiderdorp

In Leiderdorp, we have laid out a back garden at an appartment. The garden design is by Marian Rappoldt of Alchemilla garden design. There is a raised plant border along the garden wall. The raised border is made with the existing tiles. The finishing touch on the garden side is made of Douglas wood. The paving was re-laid with the tiles with the bottom side up.

To create more privacy, a grid panel of coated metal has been placed so that climbing plants can grow through and along it. The existing pergola is covered by a honeysuckle. The raised border is planted with various flowering perennials and ornamental grasses.

This way, there is something to see almost all year round and it has become a nice place to sit and the garden maintenance is limited to watering and weeding now and then.
