Organic Landscaping: Sustainable Beauty for Your Garden

At Totnes Gardening, I believe a garden should do more than look good—it should feel good, for you and the planet. I’m Kevin, and with over 20 years of experience, I specialize in organic landscaping that brings together stunning design, healthy ecosystems, and low-impact care. Based in Totnes, Devon, I’m here to create outdoor spaces that thrive naturally, using methods honed during my time at Dartington Hall Gardens.

What Is Organic Landscaping?

Organic landscaping is about working with nature, not against it. It’s a holistic approach that prioritizes:

  • Healthy Soil: Building rich, living soil with compost and natural mulch—no synthetic fertilizers needed.

  • Water Conservation: Smart planting and design to reduce watering demands, even in dry Devon summers.

  • No Chemicals: Avoiding pesticides and herbicides, keeping your garden safe for kids, pets, and wildlife.

  • Plant Harmony: Choosing species—often native—that suit your space and support local biodiversity.

The result? A garden that’s vibrant, resilient, and easier to maintain over time.

A Garden That Grows With Nature

Imagine stepping outside to a garden that hums with life—bees buzzing around wildflowers, birds nesting in shrubs, and plants thriving without a drop of pesticide. That’s what organic landscaping delivers. Whether you want a modern minimalist retreat, a lush cottage garden, or a functional family space, I’ll design and build it with nature in mind. My work reflects the lessons of Dartington: beauty doesn’t need to come at the earth’s expense.
