Holmbush is a house that is set in a couple of acres of land in the quiet countryside of Somerset. I was asked by friends who were living there to do a design for a particular area of the land that had been untended for some time. This is a site that provided some interesting challenges. The whole piece of land is north facing, but the area being designed is particularly steep, with little soil & a lot of rocks. At the bottom of the slope, where a polytunnel once stood, the land suddenly becomes quite flat & very marshy.
