Victorian terraces in BR1 often hide surprisingly generous rear gardens just waiting for thoughtful planting. From compact courtyard borders to sprawling lawns requiring structured beds, each Bromley garden presents unique opportunities. Local conditions favour everything from cottage-style perennials to modern architectural plantings. Understanding which plants thrive in our specific microclimate makes all the difference between a garden that merely survives and one that truly flourishes year-round.
Successful planting starts well before anything goes in the ground. Soil testing reveals pH levels and nutrient content, guiding plant selection for optimal results. Drainage assessment prevents waterlogged roots - particularly crucial in areas like Shortlands where heavy clay dominates. Strategic positioning considers mature plant sizes, ensuring today's small shrubs won't overwhelm tomorrow's pathways. Every planting scheme balances immediate impact with long-term sustainability.
Twenty years cultivating Bromley gardens teaches invaluable lessons about what genuinely works here. Regular clients throughout BR2 and BR3 trust our deep understanding of local growing conditions. Community involvement means spotting trends early - like the current enthusiasm for wildlife-friendly planting schemes across Bickley's larger properties.
