Meet Fran, garden designer.
Inspired by her rural upbringing and love of design, Fran creates distinctive outdoor spaces that feel like a natural extension of the home. Her approach is thoughtful and collaborative, with a focus on gardens that are both beautiful and deeply personal.

Fran trained at the Yorkshire School of Garden Design, where she developed a strong eye for composition, texture and seasonal planting. She’s particularly drawn to gardens that balance structure with softness, using planting and materials to shape atmosphere and enhance everyday life.

Warm, professional and detail-oriented, Fran brings genuine enthusiasm to every project—whether it’s a compact courtyard or a larger rural landscape.

We've just completed a new garden design with defined zones for entertaining, relaxing, and creating a sense of journey to the far reaches of the space. At the heart of the garden is a central, immersive planting bed that anchors the design—bringing a sense of luxury and a deep connection to nature, all while enhancing the garden’s serene atmosphere.

Multi-stem trees frame the sculpture and the sun-soaked colourful planting, all against a deep evergreen backdrop.

We’ve zoned this space to bring balance. Cosy, intimate pockets for gathering and connection are thoughtfully paired with open spaces that offer room to breathe.
It’s about that feeling of being at ease outdoors.
More on this project coming soon...

Urban sanctuary in Leeds

There’s nothing quite like the setting sun bathing the garden in a warm glow bringing a new atmosphere to the garden—calm, inviting, and full of character. The perfect end to the day.

At our North Yorkshire project, the terrace has been designed as the perfect spot to soak in these moments. Framed by soft, textured planting and low stone walling to buffer the breeze, it’s a space to gather, unwind, and enjoy the beauty of the changing light.

We’ve been busy working on the first phase of the planting plans for our client’s beautiful Georgian home in Boston Spa. While a full garden design is in the works for the walled garden at the rear, our initial focus has been on the front of the house—creating a welcoming and elegant arrival that complements the timeless architecture.

Carefully chosen planting will enhance the home’s classic charm, offering year-round interest and a sense of anticipation for what lies beyond. Thoughtfully layered textures, colours, and seasonal interest will not only frame the entrance but also build intrigue—hinting at the beautiful interiors and the hidden walled garden at the rear.

We can’t wait to share more on the full design soon!

Today, we visited a beautiful new project site near Ilkley, taking in the stunning and dramatic local surroundings. As part of our design process, we always explore the landscape and character of the area. By drawing inspiration from the local environment, we can create a garden that feels in harmony with the immediate landscape.

We’re excited to start shaping this space and can’t wait to share more soon!

Our latest design is a tranquil garden retreat, created as an escape from life’s stresses. Blending nature with lifestyle, this space features cosy dining terraces, a sunken lounge, and a spa zone with breathtaking valley views—each area thoughtfully designed to bring you closer to nature.

With a reimagined entrance that offers a warm welcome and a sequence of peaceful walkways through the garden, this retreat balances privacy and connection. This beautiful garden offers our clients inviting spaces to share special moments with family and friends for years to come.

Due for completion in just a few weeks, this serene outdoor space will be ready for our clients to enjoy all summer long. Stay tuned for the final reveal.
