Garden Design
A well-designed garden is more than just a collection of plants. It's an extension of your home, a place to relax, entertain, and connect with nature. At Totnes Gardening, I can help you create a garden that reflects your unique style and enhances your outdoor living experience.
My Design Philosophy
My approach to garden design is rooted in my years of experience at Dartington Hall Gardens. I was fortunate to train in a place where creativity and innovation are celebrated, and where the beauty of the natural world is woven into every aspect of the landscape.
I believe a garden should be a harmonious blend of form and function, where aesthetics and practicality go hand in hand. I take inspiration from the natural world, incorporating elements like flowing lines, organic shapes, and diverse textures to create spaces that feel both inviting and invigorating.
My Design Process
Consultation: We'll start with a consultation to discuss your vision, needs, and preferences. I'll want to understand how you plan to use your garden, your favorite styles and plants, and any challenges or opportunities your space presents.
Site Analysis: I'll carefully assess your garden, taking into account factors such as soil type, sunlight, drainage, and existing features.
Conceptual Design: I'll develop a conceptual design that captures your vision and addresses the unique characteristics of your space. This may include sketches, mood boards, and plant suggestions.
Detailed Plan: Once you're happy with the concept, I'll create a detailed plan that outlines the layout, planting scheme, and any hardscaping elements.
Implementation: I can then bring your design to life, taking care of everything from planting and construction to sourcing materials and managing the project.
