About

How it all started

Phoebe’s journey into horticulture began with a natural curiosity for the outdoors — a curiosity that quickly developed into a lasting passion for gardens, landscapes and their history.

Growing up in Bristol, her earliest experiences of gardening were simple: weeding paths, mowing lawns and spending time outdoors. Her stepfather recognised that interest early on and encouraged her to explore it further, travelling with her to agricultural college open days across the country.

At 16, a visit to Stourhead became a defining moment.

“I still remember standing there and being completely taken by the scale and detail of the landscape. It was the first time I truly understood a garden as something more than a collection of plants — it was a place shaped by people, history, architecture and time. I was particularly captivated by the island Liriodendron, and that visit stayed with me.”

Phoebe went on to study Garden Design & Horticulture at Sparsholt College. Alongside her studies, she worked in garden maintenance, building practical experience and developing a deeper understanding of horticulture from the ground up.

She graduated with Distinction and full NPTC certification, but it was her growing connection to historic gardens, stately homes and their surrounding landscapes that began to shape the direction of her career.

Since leaving education, Phoebe has continued to build her experience around the care, restoration and thoughtful development of gardens — combining practical horticultural knowledge with a deep respect for the character, history and potential of each landscape.

What began as curiosity has grown into a career centred on bringing gardens forward while respecting the stories already rooted within them.

What can you anticipate when collaborating with our team? It involves a six-phase journey...

Phase 1: Introductory Meeting

During this consultation, you're invited to share your vision for the area and how you wish to utilise it. We will explore various concepts, including style preferences, types of planting, and landscaping materials. After our discussion, we will provide you with a design outline that encompasses our preliminary ideas.

This introductory consultation incurs a fee, which is refundable should you choose to move forward with a complete design.

Phase 2: Comprehensive Design Plan

This stage merges your preferences with our innovative concepts. We will develop a detailed design, featuring sketches, mood boards, and perspective illustrations that demonstrate spatial organisation. You'll see proposed placements for trees, shrubs, and hedges, as well as arrangements for garden borders. The layouts will include designated spaces for patios, pathways, sculptures, water elements, and planters.

We will share these concepts with you for feedback, refining them based on your input.

Phase 3: Focusing on the specifics

We will then generate technical drawings with specifications, detailing the layout of hardscaping, lighting arrangements, and additional information about the plants to be incorporated. We will source the necessary materials. Our involvement at this stage ensures that the garden is built to exceptional standards.

Phase 4: Choosing a Landscaper

Now, we are ready to estimate the garden's cost using a detailed scope of work document. We will conduct on-site meetings with potential contractors to present the design, drawings, and instructions. Afterward, they will provide precise estimates from which we can recommend the most suitable team for your project.

Phase 5: Construction

With our engagement stretching from the initial idea to final execution, we're there to ensure that every aspect of your garden will be just right. We can make necessary adjustments as the project progresses and quickly address any unexpected challenges.

Phase 6: The Continuous Growth of Your Garden

Once construction is complete, we would be delighted to support the ongoing development of your garden. This might involve advising your gardener on optimal maintenance practices or, later on, brainstorming new additions -, restoring a flower bed, or reimagining certain parts of the garden.
