Growing Together Since 2008
What started as one person with a van and a passion for plants has grown into a team of dedicated professionals serving clients across the south of England.
From Small Beginnings
The company was founded by Eleanor Marsh after fifteen years working in botanical gardens and private estates. She noticed that homeowners often struggled to find gardeners who combined practical skills with genuine design understanding.
Starting with garden maintenance for a handful of neighbours, word spread quickly. By 2012, we had expanded to include landscape construction, and by 2015, we had established a dedicated design studio. Today, our team of seventeen includes horticulturalists, landscape architects, and skilled craftspeople.
Throughout this growth, our core philosophy has remained unchanged: treat every garden, regardless of size, with the same care and creativity we would give our own.
What Guides Us
These principles shape every decision we make, from plant selection to client communication.
Integrity
We give honest advice, even when it means recommending a smaller project. Our reputation matters more than any single contract.
Sustainability
Every garden we create should benefit local wildlife and use resources responsibly. We favour peat-free composts, native planting, and water-wise design.
Craftsmanship
Details matter. From the angle of a paving stone to the spacing of a hedge, we take pride in work that will stand the test of time.
Collaboration
The best gardens emerge from genuine partnership between designer and client. We listen carefully and value your input at every stage.

Our Design Philosophy
We believe gardens should feel like natural extensions of the landscape, not imposed upon it. This means working with the existing conditions rather than fighting them.
Clay soil is not a problem to be solved — it is an opportunity to use plants that thrive in moisture-retentive ground. A shady corner is not a limitation — it is a chance to create a cool, tranquil retreat filled with ferns and woodland plants.
Our designs balance structure with softness. Evergreen hedges and stone walls provide year-round framework, while perennial planting weaves through in waves of seasonal colour. The result is a garden that looks intentional but never rigid.

Featured Project
A glimpse at how we approach garden transformation.
Victorian Townhouse Garden, Bath
This long, narrow plot had been neglected for decades. The clients wanted a space for outdoor entertaining while preserving the mature apple tree at the far end.
We divided the garden into three distinct zones: a paved dining terrace near the house, a central lawn with herbaceous borders, and a wilder orchard area beneath the existing tree. Local Bath stone was used throughout to complement the period property.
The project took six weeks to complete and transformed an overgrown space into a garden the clients describe as their "unexpected sanctuary in the city."
Let's Start a Conversation
Every garden begins with a discussion. We would love to hear about your outdoor space and how you hope to use it.
