"Our First Garden" - Designed by Teresa Rham and Mike Vout in association with Wrekin Housing Trust
This design is based upon the scenario of a young couple renting a very normal affordable type of home and is for a rear garden.
The purpose of the design is to show what can be achieved quickly, cheaply and relatively simply.


Teresa's interest in gardening and design came to the fore when she moved to her present home in Shropshire in 1991 and took on a large, overgrown garden.
Today, the garden comprises a number of separate areas which are divided up by pergolas, hedging and pathways. Each area is linked to the other through the use of common materials, repeat planting and 'windows' into the next space.


'"Little Piece of Theatre" - is a show garden which has been designed for a newly retired couple who have had a successful stage career in dance. The purpose of the design was to provide a secluded corner within a larger garden which could be used for relaxing alone or entertaining friends.
