Water
Water is the key to a successful garden, we’ll look at where it falls and flows and where it is needed. We aim to capture and use what the sky gives us. Options include: ponds, water butts, bog gardens, rain gardens, swales, keyline
Healthy soil
Feed the soil, not the plants. Add organic matter not chemicals, ensuring you have a healthy soil ecology and healthy plants. Methods include: composting, mulches, no dig, animal manures, green manures, wormeries, natural liquid fertiliser
Designing for you

Sit in the sun, read a book, drink a cuppa, have a meal or watch the birds go about their business. We’ll design the places in your garden to put your feet up. Options include: patios, benches, arbours, pergolas, trees for shade, deckchairs, hammocks
Play
