Professional Garden Design West Kent & East Sussex
Take a look at just some of the different garden designs I have successfully created for my clients over the years.

Portfolio

These are just three of the many gardens I have designed over the years, but hopefully the alpine garden, pond garden and mediterranean gardens shown below, can showcase the variety of gardens that be created to your specific requirements.

Alpine Garden

The client was originally from Scotland and asked us to create an alpine garden on an overgrown slope. We cleared the area and added rocks. We sourced plants from specialist alpine nursery including one in Scotland.

Location: Somewhere, Sussex

Plant Selection: Saxifraga, Armeria, Lewisia, Erigeron borealis, Genitana nivalis

Mediterranean Garden

We are now very experienced in choosing and nurturing suitable mediterranean plants given the new reality of climate change here in the UK. Frequent hosepipe bans are another reason for selecting drought tolerant mediterranean plants.

Plant Selection: Erigeron, Lavandula, Rosmarinus, Olea europaea, Cistus, Artemisia.
