ELMTREE LONGWOOD GRANGE
Sales and Show Area for Elmtree Garden Contractors for a new housing development in Cardiff, South Wales
Fullbrook were approached by the garden designer and landscape contractor to assist them with supply of soft landscaping at a new housing development in Cardiff. Due to covid limiting travel Fullbrook provided videos and photos of the stock, so that stock could be selected virtually.
The challenge was to provide autumn interest for the opening in November whilst still providing all year-round interest, this was achieved using evergreens and carefully selected deciduous, perennials and grasses.
