The Chiswick Riverside garden is really four gardens in one.  At 55m in length and 8.5m in width the best option for a garden like this is to divide it into multiple garden rooms. Each has a distinct feel and yet continue a general theme throughout the garden in the background.   The main lawn area near the house transitions via a long sweeping path wide enough for two to a circular lawn with a pond feature in the middle garden .  Two 3ft round shrubs mark the entrance to the woodland garden along a gravel path edged with large york stone rocks.  The path divides to make a middle bed with one side leading to a partially hidden shed.  The paths rejoin at the end where they meet the final riverbank garden which looks back into the woodland garden with a swing seat at its centre.
