Everybody and every landscape or garden has different needs. Whatever the size of your space it is your island in this world and as such it should reflect your tastes and ideals and cater for your needs. Working creatively together we can turn your space into your ideal.

Wildflower meadow. Sometimes, where the skies are large, less is more.

It can be difficult to conceive how your landscape or garden could look, how it could add to your home and how it could help make your life more sustainable.

My approach is to:
1) Listen carefully to your requirements and ideas.
2) Think very carefully and creatively about the options available.
3) Help you visualise and decide on exactly what you want.
4) Work out how your wishes can be realised in the most practical, efficient, environmentally sound and aesthetically pleasing manner.
5) Draw up a plan or outline of ideas that suit you.
6) Help you make the dream a reality.

# Hello Charlotte,

I have to pass on my son’s response to your design idea – below. You should know that this is not his customary vocabulary, so you have really hit the spot!

” Awesome idea, love it!” Will be in touch, Best wishes, Barbara
