A Haven in the NW Highlands – Our most recent garden design and build in Torridon in the NW Scottish Highlands has just been completed. The site is exposed to high winds, cold temperatures and near to the sea. Geo Designs created a space that is now protected from the extremes of the weather and climate. The garden includes a raised herb garden, native hedges and trees, ornamental shrub and perennial borders, slate and granite terrace, a series of pergolas for climbing roses and honeysuckle, a small vegetable garden and is completed with a Hartley Botanic greenhouse.
All planting has been carefully selected to include a natural windbreak of hornbeam, hawthorn, crab apple, willow and dog-rose. Native trees of downy birch, hawthorn and rowan, two hardy apples and a plum tree. A basket of culinary and medicinal herbs within the raised timber planters are already beginning to flower, the scent of the herbs is wonderful. A joy of building this garden was the daily visit from a friendly Stag.
Set within the rugged and wild grandeur of the Torridon mountains. A haven in the NW Highlands, this garden is set to mature and offers a refuge and oasis amidst an extremely challenging environment.
