We've recently revisited a project that we completed late last year, and the garden is looking great.

This Geranium 'Rozanne' is one of our favorite plants in the garden and it looks wonderful spilling over the low wall into the sunken seating area, where the water feature is providing a beautiful ambiance to a garden that is located in a busy part of Loughton.

Big News Just in!!!! We are excited to have designed the garden, planting and outdoor space for this award winning home. Not only has this beautiful home by Allan Joyce Architects won an award for Best Individual New Home at the LABC East Midlands Award 2026 but has now had Sable House showcased in Dezeen Magazine. We are so proud of our gardens which surround the house and connect it to the woodland location and create a real sense of connection to the original home that once stood here. What a fantastic collaboration with Allan Joyce Architects, jenbrooke construction (contractor), Rodgers Leask (Structural Engineer) and Richard Chivers (Photographer)!

Allan Joyce Architects used courtyards to connect the charred timber-clad Sable House in Nottinghamshire to its countryside surroundings.

We've recently revisited a project that we completed late last year, and the garden is looking great. The planting has come through this summer strongly and the water feature is providing a beautiful ambiance to the garden that is located in a busy part of Loughton.

Our Molinia furrows are starting to look really good heading into Autumn.

Only planted this spring, these native grasses have come on really strongly and their spent flower heads are starting to catch the best of the low sun.

A garden can be a place of repair and renewal, not just for nature, but for ourselves. 🌾✨

This wellness month we are reflecting on the restorative power of nature and the value of shared outdoor spaces. 🌿

Our ongoing project for at The Ossington explores how landscape, art, history and community can come together to create a space that supports wellbeing, creativity and community.

A recent read that resonated with this thinking is 'The Well-Gardened Mind' by which explores the positive impact gardens can have on our mental wellbeing and sense of belonging.

We had these bespoke porcelain steps hand crafted by the team at London Stone , and looking fantastic on our recently completed project in Nottinghamshire.

The porcelain treads have deep down stands all round to give the impression that they float through the planting and are generous in size to give a gentle, comfortable journey from house to garden.

A garden in rural Cambridgeshire inspired by the couples happy memories in the south of France.

Apple 'step-over' trees line the paths either side, giving a nod to the classic French kitchen garden, while Artichoke, Geranium 'Rozanne', Stachys and Salvia give year-round interest to the ornamental beds.

The beautiful Bayou from APT Garden set among a circle of hand-cut limestone cobbles, and surrounded by soft planting that gives year round colour and textural interest.

Planting gently creeping over the edge of the planting beds onto natural stone paths is one of our favorite things to see in a garden!

Stachys, Geranium, Phlomis and Euphorbia work to great effect here, giving beautiful textural interest all the way through the year.
