Those grand Victorian gardens in Chislehurst didn't plant themselves – and neither should yours. Whether you're working with a sweeping lawn near Scadbury Park or a compact courtyard off the High Street, getting the planting right transforms everything.

Chislehurst's unique mix of clay-heavy soil and mature tree coverage creates specific challenges for garden planting. The leafy suburbs around Camden Park Road showcase what's possible when you understand which plants thrive in partial shade beneath established oaks. Local gardeners know that spring bulbs flourish here, while Mediterranean herbs often struggle without careful positioning.
Successful planting starts with understanding your plot's microclimate. North-facing gardens near Elmstead Woods require shade-tolerant perennials, whilst south-facing borders along Imperial Way burst into colour with sun-loving cottage garden favourites. Soil improvement typically involves breaking up that stubborn London clay with organic matter – essential preparation before any planting begins. Strategic placement considering mature heights prevents that overcrowded jungle effect after two seasons' growth.
