What we do
Urban garden specialist offering planting and
design expertise.
We work with all types of city gardens from small plots to bigger gardens, balconies and rooftops. Clients come to us with requests from advice on a tricky spot, to refreshing a border, to designing an entirely new project. We deliberately limit the number of clients we work with at any one time so we can bring all our expertise to bear for you.
The client requests we address the most are:
Space
Using design techniques to create the illusion of more space, even in the smallest of gardens.
Shade
Plant combinations that work in your specific conditions, including north-facing gardens.
Privacy
Creating privacy in built-up areas, giving you and your family a peaceful space to relax and play in.
Biodiversity
Gardens that work for people and for nature, with interest through every season.
Rear gardens • Front gardens • Rooftops & Balconies • Tricky spots • Short-term needs
How we can help you
We are very flexible in the way we work with clients, spanning personalised visits and detailed “forever” planting schemes, through to online consults, off the shelf maintenance plans and “quick fixes”.
