Private garden, countryside
The owner of this estate wished to create an atmosphere in the garden at his house using rooms, wonderful views and surprising elements. The informal, park-like ambience is maintained at a greater distance from the house. Mature trees were planted in the park because small trees would be obscured by the existing large trees.

The architect Joanne Tribe of Joanne Tribe Associates intuitively knew what the owner had in mind. Topiary trees have been used to create a wonderful atmosphere in the garden section. Screen Liquidambar styraciflua ‘Worplesdon’, block Carpinus betulus, screen - low Carpinus betulus, block Tilia plathyphyllos ‘Rubra’, cone Taxus baccata.

Taxus baccata of 200/250/300 were delivered in order to create hedges. The park trees Quercus palustris, Quercus robur, Quercus pubescens and Tilia europaea ‘Pallida’ were planted.

Private garden, London
This garden was designed by Charlotte Sanderson. The client wanted a formal garden with a great deal of vegetation and atmospheric and striking green elements.

The central portion of the garden was converted into a lawn in order to maintain the panorama and the borders were planted with two double rows of multi-trunk Amelanchier lamarkii, pruned into a parasol shape. The side walls have been filled with low screens of 200 cm–high Carpinus betulus.

The whimsical trunks of the Amelanchier provide a playful element that really brings the garden to life. Details such as buxus blocks and spheres at various locations create a pleasant atmosphere where it is easy to relax. The front garden has a very formal layout, with 2 eye-catching magnolias surrounded by luxuriant buxus hedges and a beautiful cloud-shaped buxus growing against the house.

Trained tilia europaea ‘Pallida’ was used along both side borders of the front garden to create more intimacy.

Wiseley Gardens, theme garden
Van den Berk Nurseries supplied topiary trees for this family garden, designed by Fiona Lawrenson.

This garden is one of the various theme gardens in the extremely famous Wiseley Gardens in Woking near London. One of the most visited gardens in the United Kingdom.

The garden has a total area of 24 hectares and was created to inspire every plant lover. Van den Berk Nurseries supplied a number of screen Carpinus betulus, a Taxus obelisk and a large number of Buxus sempervirens and Buxus sempervirens ‘Faulkner’ as hedge elements.

Royal Victoria Docks, London
This former loading and unloading quay has been transformed into a modern public space in front of the Excel stock exchange building.

Use of ingenious fountains, restored old cranes, masts with a modern design and one hundred shaped Carpinus betulus created a very atmospheric space with a look that is extremely appropriate for the stock exchange building.

The trees were planted five years ago and are a very important green element in the entire space.

A new green area in which it is pleasant to work and relax was required immediately in the new First Central Western Gateway office complex in West-Londen. Green areas were created around the various offices.

Van den Berk Nurseries supplied various Tilia cordata ‘Greenspire’ for the green access roads, a cube-shaped Tilia platyphyllos ‘Rubra’ (cubic measurement 2x2x2m) in the size 35-40 for one of the premises on the roundabout and a wide variety of semi-mature trees for the entire project.

Staines High Street London Borough of Spelthorne

In the 2002/2003 season, landscape architects David Allen and Matthew Scott of the Allen-Scott agency created a beautiful and green environment in which the public can enjoy a day at the shops in the centre of Staines.

The most important trees in this project are the cube-shaped Tilia cordata ‘Greenspire’ with sizes of 25-30 cm that were planted in different groups. Large Pyrus calleryana ‘Chanticleer’ and Platanus acerifolia of 35-40 cm were also used.

This project won several prizes in the UK. The most important of these was the prize for ‘Planning for Urban Areas and Communities 2003’ awarded by the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI).

Jubilee Park, Canarf Wharf Londen
This park was created in order to function as a green buffer zone between various, extremely tall, office buildings overlooking the river Thames.

Each day, the Tube station in the middle of the park handles thousands of commuters who can stop and rest amongst the Metasequoia trees in this green oasis. The tallest of these trees are 12 to 14 metres high.
