Planting design. Give the garden its living layers.
For existing beds, a new border or a garden whose structure works but whose planting needs attention.
Planting begins with conditions: light, soil, moisture, exposure and available space. We then consider foliage, seasonal change and the practical work of looking after the garden.
The illustrated plant library is a place to begin a conversation. A final schedule responds to the actual site, plant availability and the long-term scale of each choice.
A DEFINED STARTING POINT
What we agree.
An assessment of planting conditions
A coherent planting palette
A planting layout and plant schedule within agreed scope
Establishment and ongoing care notes
Exact deliverables, revisions and fees belong in a written scope before work begins.
BEFORE THE CONVERSATION
What to prepare.
Note the light at different times, any persistent wet or dry patches, plants you want to retain and the care you can realistically provide.
