We love decorative ironwork
Posted:21 August 2010
When you think about garden design don’t forget that you can add drama by using decorative ironwork. Rose arbours, obelisks and wall supports give height, and exciting supports for your herbaceous perennials can help give personality to your garden space.
One of our favourite garden creatives is Brighton-based Steve Betteridge. Steve makes bespoke garden features in steel – he made our wonderful gates at The Garden House often rusting the steel to blend beautifully with the garden’s natural palette without distracting. 
Taking reference from plant structures, such as alliums, arum lilies, Japanese anemone heads or leaves his work has an elegant flow, long and simple lines of steel reflecting the plant’s natural movement.
Steve can also offer a range of gardening services from general maintenance to soft landscaping (bed creation, planting design, lawncare).
