Testimonials

“Amanda greatly helped me to develop my 'blank canvas' garden, creating a detailed plan, presenting plant suggestions, and producing a maintenance booklet for me to refer to. She has a true love of plants and a wealth of plant knowledge, which Amanda is more than willing to share as she wants others to enjoy plants and gardens as much as she does. I simply could not have created the garden I wanted without Amanda's help! I cannot recommend her enough.”

“It was such an enjoyable experience to work with Amanda, as she listened to our ideas to gain a good understanding of what we wanted to achieve from the garden. Starting with just terraced lawns, she has provided us with a delightful and varied planting schemes, reflecting our thoughts and her expansive knowledge and vision, to create our Mediterranean style garden.   We could not be more delighted with the garden that Amanda has designed for us. As relatively novice gardeners, it was also really helpful to be provided with a catalogue of plants and a maintenance plan.”

“From the outset, Amanda carefully listened to our ideas and assessed every inch of the space. Her detailed plans, mood boards, and colour charts conveyed her vision and helped us understand the potential of our tired and overgrown garden.  She created a strong structure and backdrop that seamlessly integrated new borders and spaces, giving our garden a sense of coherence and purpose. Our garden is now a truly relaxing space, perfect for both entertaining and quiet enjoyment. Amanda’s enthusiasm for vegetables even inspired us to revitalize a long-neglected patch, which we've expanded to include fruit trees! Her expert advice, encouragement, and unwavering support have been invaluable. Amanda has transformed not only our garden, but also our relationship with it. “

“From start to finish, Amanda’s approach has been a perfect balance of listening to what we wanted in the garden whilst guiding us with her expertise. I thought I knew a reasonable amount about plants but I soon realised Amanda's knowledge and experience with seasonality, colour, impact on nature and overall design was on another level!”

— Rachel

“Right from the start you could sense Amanda’s love of plants and gardening. We didn’t have a lot to play with, but with Amanda’s help we created two raised beds. The resulting mix of plant textures and colours brought us so much joy! I now have a particular love for grasses. We would not hesitate to use Amanda and Fennel Garden Design when we move house, as she really gets you inspired to bring joy into your garden.”

“Amanda was particularly helpful in choosing plants that would suit the space and our colour palette preference whilst making sure we had interest throughout the year. We now have lots of height and varied colour which attracts plenty of  wildlife. The care booklet is extremely useful and the garden is easy to maintain. Our garden is beautiful, and we all love it, including the bees!”

“We have never been good at gardening so when we wanted to create a 'lovely' garden in our new home, we got in touch with Amanda. She listened carefully to what we wanted to achieve and worked with us to create a design and planting to suit us. Amanda sourced plants, advised us on bulbs and created a maintenance calendar so we can look after our new and beautiful garden with confidence. “
