Originally laid to lawn, this sun-soaked front garden was redesigned with areas of secluded seating, immersed in vibrant planting. The addition of a pond has transformed this space into a haven for wildlife.
“We were impressed with Amanda’s gentle and professional approach. Every step of the way we felt she applied the same level of care and interest as if it were her own garden. Amanda has changed our garden from an ordinary space to a calm oasis of colour all year round. Her expertise in biodiversity has meant our garden is now full of birds and insects. We absolutely love it!”

A feature border 18 metres long, planted in a naturalistic style with swathes of long-flowering perennials which are magnets for the bees and butterflies. Softened with grasses which catch the autumn light and add movement with the slightest breeze. Nothing is cut back until February, as the seedheads provide for the birds, and the border takes on a sculptural beauty of its own in winter.
“We are so grateful for the incredible transformation Amanda brought to our garden. It was a major undertaking for us, and her expertise and vision were invaluable throughout the process. The results are stunning. We enjoy huge drifts of daffodils, followed by later spring blooms, before our borders explode with a colourful blend of flowering herbaceous plants and grasses that continue to provide interest throughout the autumn and winter. Her amazing knowledge of plants and natural design flair have helped us realize a garden we truly love and enjoy. Thank you, Amanda. “

Sun-loving, drought-tolerant Mediterranean style planting on one side, with shade-loving plants repeated on the other side. Silvery green foliage of different textures, combined with calming shades of blue, soft pink and white bring both sides together harmoniously. Wisteria will be cascading from the pergola arch before long.
“ We approached Amanda after having our garden newly landscaped, with no idea of what to plant where. With a colour scheme in mind and a love of roses, Amanda was able to inspire us with some images which led to a garden that we adore.”

Additional beds were created to soften the hard edges of the patios and add depth to the garden. Planting is wrapped around the seating areas giving interesting viewpoints. Evergreen shrubs form the backbone of the garden and were chosen to complement the beautiful cotswold stone wall. These were combined with a succession of long-flowering perennials bringing colour across the seasons. Many of the plants in the shade were selected for architectural qualities. The new corner seating area is a suntrap surrounded by aromatic plants such as lavender.
