🍏 A beautiful autumn morning for setting out the plants for the final phase of this garden project in Crowthorne. @raynerscapes @andybowood @northhillnurseries @griffinnurseries #plantingdesign #gardendesign #gardendesignerberkshire #gardendesignerbuckinghamshire #gardendesignerhertfordshire #autumngardens #outdoorliving
🍏 Visited a garden at the weekend that is in it’s second season. It’s so satisfying to see shrubs and trees maturing and the garden being maintained so well. @griffinnurseries @northhillnurseries @deepdaletrees @majestictrees1 #gardendesign #gardendesignerberkshire #gardendesignerhertfordshire #gardendesignerbuckinghamshire #plantingdesign #countryliving #outdoorliving #outdoorentertaining
🍏 Final setting out of plants for the rear garden. Space for a fabulous slate ball water feature to be installed. I really love this garden! @northhillnurseries @griffinnurseries @_londonstone #plantingdesign #gardendesign #gardendesignerhampshire #gardendesignerberkshire #gardendesignerhertfordshire #bramleyapplegardendesign
Thank you so much to everyone who donated, I raised £855 for Alzheimer’s Society. It was a great day and not too shabby a time either! @alzheimerssoc #trek26stonehenge
🍏 Final setting out of plants on this project. The front has just been completed and is looking fabulous! The estate fencing is the perfect choice for this period house and the creamy gravel compliments the paintwork beautifully. The cool summer has been ideal for settling in plants, so different from recent years!

What our customers say
After five years, our garden is maturing into a wonderful space which is used daily and has given us such lasting pleasure. We couldn't have wished for a better design!
Sarah really understood the challenges we were trying to solve with the garden. She has a wealth of knowledge on plant types for colour, structure, scent and seasonal interest. Creating a scheme that has added beautiful views and value to our home.
Sarah was great. We wanted to dramatically change our front garden but did not really know how to achieve this, Sarah came up with a few designs (that were amazing). We would not have our garden now which we still love 3 years on if not for Sarah
