Soil preparation forms the foundation of thriving flower displays throughout Streatham Hill's sloping gardens. Breaking up compacted earth, incorporating organic matter, and selecting plants that flourish in London clay ensures year-round interest.

Combining perennials with seasonal bedding creates layers of texture whilst managing maintenance requirements for busy households.
