You may remember reading about Matthew’s first successful design which was for a small sun-lover’s garden in Busby? If not then you should take a look to see his approach to the design but anyway here is the finished garden – minus planting which we’re doing next week!!This garden was built in the Busby area, next to Clarkston in the southside of Glasgow, Scotland by Nicky Patterson and Matthew Thomson of GardenImprovements.com
