I am essentially an Artist and sculptor with a passion for garedns and find greatest expression in my creativity in creating what I call an Art garden. This is not a a garden with art in it. The garden itself is an artwork. Often called Concept gardens. A picture if you like, that is 'painted' with landscape elements of plants and hardscaping ..read more

Many of us want to be creative, but to wear creative outfits takes courage and we don't really want the attention and the suggestion that we are trying to prove something. We can be creative in interior decor but that takes similar 'guts' to wearing creative clothing. It's also quite permanent and most of us don't really know what works, so we go for bland colours and styles. It is however good to have muted tones indoors to create a soothing atmosphere anyway. Outdoors and specifically in our gardens is where we can find true creative expression. We don't live outdoors as much and somehow an ..read more

Ask any child to draw a flower. They will go for reds, orange, yellow, pink and maybe purple, but not blue, thats the colour of the sky, that line at the top. Why? Well maybe flowers are'nt mean't to be blue and that's why its so much fun to use blue in a garden, its a surprise and I some of us don't even realise that many flowres are blue. Blue is a very soothing colour and can provide for a tranquil space. Blue is a good foundation for other colours. Too many bright colours can be overpowering and blue creates a good mix. Blue and white can make for a striking garden. Even some grasses and f ..read more

Why go away on holiday when you can create a garden that you want to visit and linger in. Lockdown would be like a holiday!!! Things to include in a garden that help in make it feel like a holiday are a firepit (not expensive to get a metal one, as pictured above), all weather outdoor kitchen, yes one with a roof covering. Outdoor lighting. Water proof sound system that can be linked to spotify or such and any music can be listened to for a small fee or even for free. There's nothing quite like a live fire to keep you warm or to gaze into its dancing flames while sipping a glass of red, or co ..read more

We aim to design for you, a design that is exactly what you enjoy suiting your tastes and dreams. That may be formal, contemporary or neither. A garden is where designers can be most creative and get away with a lot that is ..read more

We engage designers in every aspect of our lives, why not in our garden? Even your toaster was designed, your toothbrush, house, dog collar and milk carton etc. Good garden design is not expensive and certainly will save u money in the long run, even if u pick away at it yourself or get contactors to do it bit by bit. The wrong plants in the wrong place cost you a lot to either keep alive or die and need replacing. And a beautiful garden adds to your sense of wellbeing beyond quantification ..read more
