These are the kind of ingredients that I was imagining when I talked about overlooking a Modern Country garden: a blend of romantic roses with neat rows of catmint, combined with formal topiary. These low buxus' (box) are newly planted but will end up as neatly clipped parterre hedges.

| Modern Country garden: Roses and catmint |
The client wanted tranquillity and calm...
 |
| Modern Country Garden: Circular pool and catmint |
...which is provided by both the symmetry and the softly-softly colour palette....gentle pinks and mauves.
 |
| Modern Country Garden: Roses and boxwood parterre |
The balance between the two produces a very Modern Country garden.

I love "working" in the garden too. It's so nice to see the results of your hard work when everything starts blooming. You can't beat lantana...it's such a good bloomer and can totally take the heat. I used to have a ton of them at my old house and they were the star of the show. :) Your garden looks fantastic! Are those wooden shutters I see? They're gorgeous!
