Nature focused designs

By using a combination of wild and cultivated plants, and imitating the way they grow together in the wild, we aim to enhance the enjoyment of your garden, whilst encouraging a wide range of pollinating insects crucial to the restoration of natural species and processes at a time when it is most needed.

Client Reviews

"A couple of years ago we had some hardscaping done in our back garden, raised beds, etc. We asked Lucy to design and supply plants in a cottage garden style. After several discussions, Lucy provided the plants and came and set them out for us so that our gardener could plant them. 18 months on, the results are spectacular, and are exactly what we envisioned. We would not hesitate in recommending Lucy."
