All the plants have been set out at our Tunbridge Wells projects ready to plant. Looking forward to seeing this one establish and be a riot of colour for years to come.

Three years on, this Tonbridge wildlife garden is settling beautifully into its rhythm.

Designed to feel immersive yet intentional, sweeping planting beds are gently shaped and threaded with meandering pathways that draw you through layers of perennials and grasses. The result is a garden that invites exploration—each turn offering a new composition of colour, movement, and texture.

A carefully balanced mix of native species and select cultivars ensures the garden works hard ecologically while retaining a strong sense of design. From early pollinators to late-season seedheads, the planting provides a rich and continuous source of food and habitat for a wide range of wildlife.

Structural shrubs and light-canopied trees form the backbone of the scheme, giving definition and year-round presence, while softer planting weaves between them to create a naturalistic tapestry that evolves with the seasons.

Moments of pause are just as important as movement. Discreet seating and perch points are positioned to take in long views across the planting and towards the wildlife pond—offering a quiet connection to both visiting and resident fauna.

A garden that demonstrates how biodiversity and considered design can coexist—naturalistic in character, yet carefully composed.

Spring is in the air, and it won’t be long before gardens are bursting into flower 🌷

A before & after from our Hadlow project, captured in May a couple of years ago as the planting really began to come into its own.

Here’s the first look at our Wimbledon project.

Currently at the concept stage of the design, this long, narrow garden spans multiple levels and felt a little disconnected.

The lower terrace has been expanded to provide a fully functioning entertainment space, complete with a cantilevered dining area, an outdoor kitchen, and planting to soften the space and create an intimate social area, seamlessly connecting with the living space inside.

On the upper level, vertical interest has been introduced with trees and an architectural pergola, drawing the eye from the lower terrace towards the back of the garden and inviting exploration.

Gentle new steps lead to the upper level, where the long expanse has been subtly dissected with three large planting beds. Along with the zigzag path, this encourages a slower journey through the space. The horizontal orientation of the stepping stones visually widens the garden.

The path eventually arrives at a second seating area at the back, offering a more intimate and relaxed retreat, surrounded by planting and the tranquil sounds of a water feature.

Materials are used to create subtle contrast and guide the eye through the garden. Dark clay pavers sit alongside light porcelain, breaking up the surface and adding texture. Along the boundaries, warm horizontal timber panelling, dark green hedging, and sections of black-painted fencing create rhythm and structure. The black fencing acts like a picture frame for the white birch. The hedge funnel views through the garden while keeping the eye within the space, with the trees drawing the gaze upwards.

Here a former acre paddock is transformed into a garden for plant loving clients. Swipe to see the before → and after.

Pictured 18 months after planting this garden is a tapestry of late spring. The planting settled beautifully, with cool shades weaving through the borders — delicate blue and white Aquilegias dance above the foliage, drifts of white Luzula nivea float through the borders and clouds of purple Nepeta punctuate the display. Creating a soothing and relaxed ambience.

Winding grass paths now thread gently through the beds, inviting you to wander, pause, and take in the layers of texture and colour. Every turn reveals another view, another quiet place to sit and enjoy the space.

As the season moves on, the planting continues to evolve, with new colours and textures taking over in succession through the summer.

Lots of exciting projects coming up this year, Looking forward to working with to take this from the studio and out into real life!

This small garden in Tunbridge Wells was a real challenge with a combination of level changes, odd angles and space at a premium.

With the brief set, we tackled the issue with strong clean lines in the landscaping, dissecting the space into defined, usable rooms and then softening dramatically with layered painting. The inclusion of a couple of small trees and bespoke pergola further helped to increase the sense of space, guiding the eye vertically and drawing in the sky.

Here’s a perfect ‘Before and After’ example of what can be a achieved with a small garden space.

The photos have been taken just after installation so the design will continue to evolve as the plants fill out.

The courtyard has been segmented into different areas with planting borders and varying floor materials, creating subtle rooms that help increase the size of space visually.

The use of the vertical in this design, with climbers to create a ‘green wall’ effect and the vertical wooden panelling to mirror the decking, further enhances the sense of space, guiding the eye upwards.

The garden has been expertly installed by Flooring by and plants from

Here’s a conceptual design for a modern courtyard style garden. At around 7.5m x 7.5m in dimension this garden provides the perfect example of what can be achieved with a small space.

Dividing the space into different zones or rooms for differing uses (e.g. small dining space, outdoor lounge, ice bath) and using design tricks such as varying floor materials and level changes helps to create the impression of a larger space.

The use of planting to frame this garden, adds a sense of depth especially with a dark backdrop. The pleached trees provide seclusion and the multi-stem Amelanchier adds height and a focal point in the garden. Bringing the focal point towards the centre of the garden, especially when a tree, can help to make a space feel larger by distorting the visual scale, creating the illusion of greater space beyond.

This courtyard design really shows what you can do with a small space. By segmenting the garden into different areas with planting borders and differing floor materials, this can really help increase the size of space visually.

The use of the vertical in this design, with climbers to create a ‘green wall’ effect and the vertical wooden panelling to mirror the decking, further enhances the sense of space, guiding the eye upwards.

Can’t wait to see the garden finished with the final installations. Stay tuned!
