Something to do this weekend – Serpentine Gallery Pavillion
6th Oct:
You have until the 18th October to visit this year’s Serpentine Gallery Pavilion. Step away from the hustle and bustle of London, a garden within a garden.
“The concept for this year’s Pavilion is the hortus conclusus, a contemplative room, a garden within a garden. One enters the building from the lawn and begins the transition into the central garden, a place abstracted from the world of noise and traffic and the smells of London – an interior space within which to sit, to walk, to observe the flowers.”

Garden design and build at Harrington porter
20th Jan:
It has been another long but enjoyable year for the Harrington Porter landscaping team. We have built several really exciting garden projects and in advance of an update of our portfolio, please see a selection of photos below. We have built a number of stylish, contemporary outdoor “rooms” with a common trend of artificial lawns, floating benches, uplighting, low maintenance planting and rendered planters. The design of these spaces has been considered with the increasingly popular concept of all year round outdoor entertaining in mind, with outdoor heaters, firepits, and lighting, meaning that it doesn’t have to be mid-summer to use your garden anymore.
