PLANT PERSON’S GARDEN
PEASMARSH
The brief was to remodel the border and lawn shapes in the central area of a large garden to create a showstopping, inspiring and cohesive scheme. This was to be achieved by creating a more immersive and inspiring planting scheme with year-round interest and colour, making it less shrub-dominant and incorporating all the existing plants, whilst also keeping a large area of lawn and adding to the existing gravel paths.

WOOLBEDING GLASSHOUSE
WOOLBEDING GARDENS – NATIONAL TRUST, BRAMBLING LANE, MIDHURST GU29 9RR
A new 12-step Silk Route Garden takes visitors through a landscape influenced by the ancient trading routes between Asia and Europe. The final point of this botanical journey is the glasshouse. The structure was created in a jewel-like shape, radially symmetrical like a large terrarium and on a warm day, the building’s ‘sepals’ (or petals) stretch outwards using a hydraulic mechanism to open creating a crown or flower shape to welcome in the sunlight.

WINDMILL BANK GARDEN
SELSFIELD COMMON, EAST GRINSTEAD
The brief was for a garden that not only was functional but also prioritised sustainability, biodiversity and water efficiency within its rural location. The 1.5-acre plot was transformed into a sustainable garden design focusing on creating entertaining areas and enhancing the routes to the house. The planting scheme mainly consisted of perennials and grasses to leverage the natural features of the site and Pyrus Chanticleer trees to provide shade and screening to the house.
