A beautiful garden isn’t just “more plants” — it’s the right plants, in the right place, with a layout that works in every season. Project Garden provides practical planting and garden design that improves how your garden looks, feels, and functions, without making it high-maintenance.
Whether you want a fresh look for tired borders, a complete re-think of the space, or simply help choosing plants that will thrive, we’ll guide you from ideas to a finished result.

What we do
Our Planting & Garden Design service can be as simple or as comprehensive as you need:
- Planting design for borders, beds, pots and feature areas
- Garden layout improvements (flow, structure, and “what goes where”)
- Colour and seasonal interest planning (spring through winter)
- Low-maintenance planting schemes that still look premium
- Wildlife-friendly options (pollinators, birds, natural planting)
- Shade / drought / tricky area solutions
- Plant supply and professional planting
- Border refreshes: lift, divide, re-position, and replanting where needed
If you already have favourite plants, we’ll work them into the plan. If you hate gardening but love a tidy garden, we’ll design for that too.

Our approach
We keep the process simple and collaborative:
- Design visit – we look at light, soil, access, and how you use the space
- Ideas & direction – you choose the style (clean and modern, cottage, wildlife-friendly, formal, etc.)
- Planting plan – what goes where, and why
- Supply & planting – we source plants and install properly
- Aftercare guidance – what to do next (or we can maintain it for you)
Design should feel exciting — not overwhelming. We’ll keep it practical, clear, and suited to your budget.

FAQs
Can you work with what I already have?
Yes. We can keep and reposition existing plants, then add new planting to bring it together.
Do you supply the plants?
We can supply plants, compost and mulch, or work with plants you’ve already purchased.
Can you create a low-maintenance garden?
Absolutely. We’ll choose plants and a layout that look great without constant attention.
Do you only do design, or do you install as well?
We do both. Many clients prefer a complete service — design, supply, planting and finish.
Can the work be phased?
Yes — we can prioritise key areas first and build the plan over time.
