HOW THE MAGIC WORKS

We Design, Supply & Plant

Every element needed to bring your garden into being lives here at the nursery. Our Designers are seasoned professionals with a sharp eye for sculptural thinking, drawing inspiration from the extraordinary breadth of plants we grow and love. Working in tandem with our planting team, they manage the process with precision and pace. No dithering. No delays.

You may be planning a quiet haven to retreat from the noise of East Dulwich. Or something more vibrant – a place for guests, for parties, for summer evenings that stretch on. Perhaps you’re after a family garden that works hard, but still lifts the spirits. You may be dealing with tight corners and tricky levels – in which case, let us talk to you about verticals (a particular passion of ours) or the elegant practicality of espaliered forms that bring order, privacy and shape. You may wish to echo a neighbour’s garden, or deliberately do something quite different. You may be working with a generous plot, or a configuration that would leave others scratching their heads. Either way, we’ll bring clarity.

Your time might be limited. Or you might be itching to throw yourself into a long-held ambition to craft a garden with feeling and intent. Whether it’s your first foray or your final flourish, we’ll find a rhythm that suits.

Exceptional Garden Design, Plants and Planting

You may be creating a peaceful escape from the energy of South East London. Or something that buzzes – a garden for gatherings, BBQs, and late evenings under festoon lights. Perhaps you’re working with a split-level space or the classic long garden behind a Victorian terrace – in which case, let us show you what can be done with clever verticals and espaliered structure to bring rhythm and privacy. You might want something that sits comfortably in the Dulwich vernacular – or you might be ready to go bold. Whatever the brief, whether it’s a hidden courtyard or a wide open plot, we’ll help you get it growing in the right direction.

With over 40,000 plants grown and nurtured on site, our designers have everything they need to shape a garden that’s truly yours. That might include topiary, screening structures, mature specimens or young trees, the occasional exotic, something rare, or simply the right plant in the right place. Everything is ready when you are, no agonising waits, no ambiguous extras. The collection is extensive, yes, but curated with East Dulwich conditions and character in mind, from soil and setting to style. You might come in with a clear idea. You might leave with something even better.

With a highly personal and collaborative approach, your designer will advise, guide and inspire you with their expert knowledge. They use a 3-Step process honed over the last 30 years to eliminate all the kerfuffle that can come with other design and planting methods. Tailored to meet your personal requirements and surpass your expectations (however impossible or daunting you think the task might be initially). The result will be an expertly curated and planted transformation full of the plants you love, in a garden design you can immerse yourself in and enjoy all year round.

What will set your garden apart?

The variety and fusion of plants you can choose from. Their quality and provenance. Their shape and form. Their capability to transform any space. Our West Sussex nursery is at the heart of your journey and provides the inspiration. A visit here is a pivotal step in our design process. However, if you are unable to visit, our designers can help you explore your choices with video calls and photos. They’ll prompt you to think creatively – even audaciously: dramatic topiary, undulating & meandering blobberies, smart avenues, intricately planted screening, defined hedges, lush groves, and exciting, exotic, rare or jungly environments. If you love our plants then you will love your garden. Our expertise spans a diverse range of spaces, from small gardens and intimate courtyards to large gardens, complex layouts, city roof terraces and country estates; no project is too grand or modest. Whether you’re thinking of a formal setting or a more contemporary fusion, your garden will be both elegant and exciting.

What sets our process apart?

The convenience, continuity and efficiency of having everything you’ll need in one place. Over 30 years’ experience designing and planting exceptional gardens for our customers. Our own Design, Nursery, Planting & Creative Maintenance teams that get the job done. An enjoyable, exciting, collaborative and personal journey with the expertise to manage the whole process for you should you prefer. A momentum and swiftness steering away from conventional drawings, sourcing dilemmas and other frustrating factors that we know can inhibit your involvement and peace of mind. Here’s how we’ll transform your garden:

Our designers are always keen to advise that you ask us to instal our irrigation system. They’re also very keen on designing with pathways, water features, pots, sculpture and creative structural edging for your beds and borders; all elements that we provide to enrich the time you’ll spend in your garden. However, we don’t provide hard landscaping but we have many years of experience working successfully in collaboration with external contactors employed by our customers who do this. Do talk with our design team about this should you require further explanation.
