Expert plant selection and design - Year-round interest with the right plants for your space

A well-designed planting scheme is the heart of any garden. I create detailed planting plans that ensure your garden looks beautiful throughout the seasons, with careful consideration of soil conditions, aspect, and maintenance requirements. Whether you need a complete planting design or want to refresh existing borders, I can help you choose the perfect plants for your space.

Seasonal Perennial Border

Seasonal Perennial Border

I choose plants that have proven themselves over time - varieties that really work in our climate and keep looking good through the seasons. Each plant is matched to its spot, whether that's woodland edge, open prairie, or somewhere in between. The focus is on getting the right balance of shape, texture, and colour that changes naturally throughout the year.

These planting plans show the detailed layout and plant positioning that creates year-round interest - each plant carefully placed to work with its neighbours for structure, colour, and seasonal flow.

Community Planting Scheme

Community Planting Scheme

Working with local groups to create sustainable perennial plantings that benefit everyone. This scheme uses hardy plants chosen for their ability to establish naturally without becoming invasive - plants that can thrive with minimal intervention once they're settled in.

The seeded meadow area draws on James Hitchmough's extensive research into naturalistic plantings - using seed mixes that create self-sustaining displays while supporting local wildlife and reducing long-term maintenance.
