Specialising in historic properties, we restore period gardens while respecting original design intent. Our approach combines archival research with modern horticultural techniques.

Report
Amanda visualised my garden in a way that I hadn't been able to. She took what I saw as a fairly standard space and developed ideas and designs that were not just interesting, but made everything flow together far better. Best of all - the plants were all chosen to follow through from the decoration of my house - hot pink injections indoors will soon be complemented by hot pink flowers. Lovely!
