Garden planting in Dulwich requires understanding both the area's clay-heavy soil and its distinctive microclimates. Victorian properties throughout SE22 often feature established trees creating dappled shade patterns, while newer developments near Herne Hill present blank canvases waiting for structure. Local expertise matters when selecting plants that'll thrive alongside existing mature specimens.
Soil preparation begins weeks before anything goes in the ground - particularly crucial given Dulwich's tendency towards waterlogged clay during winter months. Plant selection considers not just aesthetics but practicalities: which varieties cope with London pollution, what survives beneath those towering oaks common to West Dulwich properties. Spacing accounts for mature sizes, ensuring today's modest shrubs won't overwhelm tomorrow's garden.
Twenty years working Dulwich gardens means recognising patterns - which corners catch frost pockets, where spring bulbs emerge earliest. Every SE24 plot tells its own story through soil and light.
