What we design and plant

Garden Design

Full design from site survey to planting plan. We work with your soil, light, and landscape to create spaces that feel genuinely of their place.

Wildlife Planting

Pollinator borders, hedgerow edges, and native meadow mixes chosen to support birds, bees, and insects through every season.

Tree Planting

Native species selected for canopy, fruit, and shelter. We plant, stake, and return to check establishment for two full growing seasons.

Consultation

A single site visit and written report for those who want a clear direction and confidence to plant themselves.

Every project plants a new tree

For every garden we design, we fund the planting of native trees in the Cotswolds and surrounding countryside. Working with local landowners and conservation groups, we plant species that belong here: oak, field maple, hazel, hawthorn, and wild cherry.

It is not an offset. It is part of what we do.

340 Trees planted to date
12 Native species used
6 Planting sites active
100% British provenance stock

From our clients

"The garden feels as though it has always been here. Wildflowers we did not even plant have started to arrive. That is the measure of it."

Caroline Whitmore Walled garden project, Stow-on-the-Wold

"They listened carefully, respected the old yew hedge we were worried about, and delivered something far better than we imagined possible."

David and Ruth Parrish Border and orchard design, Moreton-in-Marsh

"The tree scheme felt like a real commitment, not a gesture. Knowing those oaks are growing somewhere nearby makes the whole project mean more."

Harriet Colston Wildlife garden, Bourton-on-the-Water

How a project unfolds

One

Site Visit

We walk the space together, read the soil, note the light, and listen to how you use the garden.

Two

Design

A hand-drawn and digital planting plan with species rationale, phasing, and tree scheme allocation.

Three

Planting

We source British provenance plants and trees, then plant with our own team at the right time of year.

Four

Aftercare

Two return visits in the first growing season to check establishment, adjust, and advise on maintenance.
