This is how a boring and barren entryway became a lush garden

A barren Pt Chevalier entryway was transformed into a lush, modern garden by designer James Walkinshaw of Xanthe White Design. The project tackled a dated exterior by creating a series of garden ‘rooms’.

Key features include a contemporary black steel pergola, clever built-in seating, and a reduced driveway to maximise green space. The planting scheme uses fresh green textures and whites, with Japanese maples and hydrangeas providing beautiful, year-round seasonal interest for the family home.
