A newly developed garden design concept in Wokingham, Berkshire, created for a couple approaching retirement and looking to create a welcoming outdoor space to entertain family and friends or simply relax. Their wish was for an open contemporary space with easy to maintain planting and a pleasant integration of a garden office and aluminium pergola in the overall garden layout.
As part of our approach for this large garden redesign we included 2D and 3D space exploration, material and planting palettes, planting design, specifications, tender management and final costing. The garden build is scheduled to start in Autumn 2026.

A rural garden for a family looking to create a sanctuary to entertain family and friends, exercise and rejuvenate, and grow fruits and vegetables. The garden will comprise several spaces carved within the landscape in and amongst existing trees and new ornamental trees to be added, including an al fresco dining patio with an outdoor kitchen nestled in immersive planting and partly screened by ornamental trees, a well being area with an outdoor sauna, and a orchard and vegetable garden. This garden design project is currently under development.

Conceived as a journey from cultivation to wildness, this is a garden that feels as though the rural landscape has been drawn gently towards the house. At the heart of the landscape sits the medicinal garden, set within a matrix of meadow and framed by orchard trees, with the planting merging with the eastern boundary. Acting as a central hub it connects the forest garden with areas of open lawn, and immersive meadows.
The result is a landscape that brings together plants, nature, sensory experience, beauty and contemplation, creating a place that supports both wellbeing and a deeper connection with the living landscape. This design project is currently under development.

An immersive garden with a whimsical feel, designed with spaces flowing from one another following an organic and plant rich layout, to create a garden where time slows, a sanctuary to be discovered and enjoyed one step at the time. Spaces are carved along side the gentle elevation and the palette makes the most of natural materials, in keeping with the period house and post industrial style extension. This garden is scheduled for an autumn 2026 build.

A riverside garden design concept under development for a large property by the Thames in Caversham, Berkshire. The project aims to create a space for the family to enjoy spending time by the water. The concept is being developed to minimise the impact on the ecology of the river bank and keep the view onto the river open. The material and plant palette makes use of minimalist and natural materials, muted colours and a selection of plants and trees inspired by river side landscapes.
This design project is currently under development.

A plant rich design developed for a couple looking to create a botanical heaven in their garden and complement their new kitchen extension and patio space with planting with long season interest including a shade border, a romantic english border, a wall garden and a meadow inspired island.
The layout has been optimised to create lush wrap around borders and integrate a private nook with a seating area immersed in planting. A central island was added to create layered views from mutliple points and to partially screen the new seating area, creating a sense of privacy and balancing the space. One of the borders was extended to bring planting close to the kitchen bifold, creating pleasant layered views with the wall garden beyond. This garden is currently under construction.
