From simple forms to a finished garden 🌿
Every garden design starts with a simple idea.
At the beginning of the process, we strip everything back to the essentials — simple shapes, strong lines and clear spaces. These early forms help us understand how the garden will work: where people will move, where they will sit, how planting will frame the space, and how the garden connects to the architecture.
As the design develops, these simple forms gradually become more refined. Planting areas are shaped, boundaries are defined, materials are introduced, and individual elements begin to emerge. Small details are added along the way, but always with the original structure and concept in mind.
The final garden may look detailed and effortless, but underneath it is a process of layering — form first, then function, then planting, materials and detail.
It’s a bit like building a picture: start with the composition, establish the big shapes, and then slowly add the details that bring it to life. 🌱
