Victorian terraces line much of SW11, each hiding potential garden gems behind period facades. These plots, typically longer than they are wide, present unique opportunities for layered planting that draws the eye through the space. Local soil conditions vary dramatically between properties near Battersea Park and those closer to Clapham Junction, demanding careful plant selection.
Successful planting starts with understanding your garden's microclimate. South-facing walls in Nine Elms trap heat, creating Mediterranean conditions perfect for lavender and rosemary. Meanwhile, north-facing plots near the railway benefit from shade-tolerant ferns and hostas. Soil preparation involves enriching London clay with organic matter, ensuring plants establish strong root systems that withstand urban stresses.
Twenty years cultivating Battersea gardens teaches you which suppliers stock the healthiest specimens. Long-standing relationships with local nurseries mean accessing plants perfectly suited to SW11's conditions, not generic garden centre stock.
