If your outdoors space is in any way uninspiring I would be delighted to undertake a full design. All scales welcome - it might be a tiny urban garden, something larger in the country, a new build house, or just a balcony! Some clients enjoy collaborating while others prefer to be presented with a finished product – I am happy either way. The process unfolds as follows:

1. Initial visit and consultation
2. Concept proposals (the vision, including layout and general plant ideas)
3. Detailed proposals (comprehensive planting and working plans)
4. After signing off the plans, quotes from contractors will be sourced to find the right price for any landscaping work
5. Planting and project management
6. Aftercare and maintenance advice

An ideal option if you want to optimise your space without going down the full design route. After discussing what you’d like from your garden and assessing the site, we can draw up various options in terms of layout, planting, or both. We can then help you implement these recommendations or leave you to it!

Edimentals
We have extensive knowledge of edible ornamentals and are always delighted to offer online or in-person consultations focussing on these plants - offered both to homeowners and to other designers wishing to augment a particular project. This might be a really in-depth dive, or equally or a quick chat about fitting a few edimentals into your existing flower beds! We can advise on the ideal conditions for and culinary possibilities of this wide range of often underutilised plants.

You may wish to expand an area of your garden, or perhaps to revitalise some tired existing planting without making major changes to your garden’s layout. If so I’d be delighted to draw up a planting scheme and plant list. This might be based around increasing biodiversity, including ‘edimentals’, or creating a particular atmosphere – be it serene, exuberant, or exotic.

Whatever you are after, I will design a strong planting scheme offering year-round interest.
