ONLINE DESIGN OPTIONS
The 5 online options below offer a range of services outside the full scale design process. You can begin with any of these options and then move to a full design service later, or you can simply use them as guides, giving you the confidence to embark on garden improvements yourself. These services are effective ways, at any time, of bringing designer input into your garden without the cost of the full process on the Start to Finish page. And right now they are useful ways of accessing advice if you are being careful about meeting face to face.
ONLINE BORDER DESIGN
​
If you want to create a border from scratch, our border design service is the ideal solution. We will identify ideal plants to suit your garden style, specify the right species for the border conditions, and create a plan for you. Once the Border Design Form is completed and payment received, your plan will be drawn up and sent you by email within 21 days.
You will receive:
-
the plan
-
a pen and ink sketch showing the appearance of the mature border
-
a list of plants with their Latin and common names, quantities, and suggested pot sizes.
​
If you wish for additional information about your chosen species, to use use them with confidence elsewhere in the garden, you can request individual fact sheets. These describe ideal growing conditions, care tips, and a bit of background too.
​
This is a cost effective way of getting bespoke design input into your planting schemes. Prices simply depend on border size. They are listed on the form.
If you would like more information first, do let us know. Or, if you are ready to dig in, please go directly to the Border Design Form. Either way, we will respond to you by email within 2 working days.
ONLINE PLANT LIST
​
You may want to create a border yourself rather than following a plan, but have been putting it off, not knowing quite where to start, not wanting a random selection from a garden centre, and not having the luxury of hours to spend researching appropriate plants yourself. This is a quick service to get you going.
The form below has all the information we need to create a bespoke list. We will recommend plants to fit the structure you want: low planting around a specimen tree; an airy grassy perennial look; shrub border; herb garden or more. The plants will suit the levels of shade or sun, the type of soil, and your chosen colour scheme. Once the Plant List Form is completed and payment received, your list will be drawn up and emailed to you within 14 days. You can then enjoy planning the detail yourself. deciding on the numbers you need, the sizes you want, and how you are going to arrange them.
You will receive:
-
a list of plant species with their Latin and common names.
-
enough additional information to give you confidence in arranging them: height and spread, what time of year their flowers or leaves are putting on their best display, and what sort of pruning or cutting back they need to keep them looking good.
​
For additional information on your plants, to use them with confidence elsewhere in the garden, you can order individual fact sheets.
​
There is a fixed price for this, set out on the form. If you have questions, please do ask. Or you can proceed directly to the Plant List Form. Either way, we will respond to your communication within 2 working days.
