Green Spaces

31/10/2026

And just like that, October is coming to an end 🍂

We feel very lucky to look after some beautiful gardens and to do something we genuinely love. Watching the seasons change, seeing the gardens take on a different look and feel, and appreciating all the little moments along the way is one of the best parts of what we do.

Always grateful to spend our days doing what we love. 🤎

From an overlooked plot to a paradise.
We had the absolute pleasure of designing this spacious cottage garden in the Forest of Dean, blending romantic aesthetics with active country living.
Our layout tackles privacy while honouring the character of the site and the lifestyle of its owners. Here is how we transformed the space:
The Welcome: A brand-new, classic cottage garden framing the entrance.
Pastoral Life: Seamlessly integrating boundaries for the owner’s resident sheep and chickens.
Productive Plots: A dedicated kitchen garden for farm-to-table growing.
The Feature: Romantic, lush planting surrounding and celebrating the existing well.
Privacy Restored: Strategic tree planting to screen out onlookers and create a secluded sanctuary.
Sunset Seating: A perfectly positioned seating area to soak in the evening sun and stunning views across the garden.

The first autumn hues.

The change is happening slowly in the garden.

These small changes are part of what makes a garden so rewarding to look after; there’s always something new to notice as the seasons shift.

From a concept plan to a planting direction.

A glimpse into the early stages of a new garden design, looking at how the different spaces connect, how the garden will be experienced, and the planting character that will bring it all together.

At this stage, it’s still an idea on paper. But this is where the garden starts to take shape.

One plant, two seasons.

Hypericum brings more than its bright yellow flowers to the garden.

As the flowers fade, clusters of red berries follow, adding another layer of colour and interest as the season changes.

It’s these small transitions that can make a planting scheme feel interesting for longer.

Colour, movement and seasonal interest.

Verbena bonariensis brings height and movement to this planting, weaving through the grasses and softer planting around it.

It’s a good example of how planting can create a sense of movement while continuing to offer interest as the seasons change.

The first autumn hues.

One of those moments in the garden that happens almost unnoticed.

The leaves of this Acer palmatum dissectum are beginning to change, bringing the first hints of autumn colour to the garden.

A small shift, but one that signals the season ahead.

Behind the design of a new garden project.

There’s a lot that happens before the first plant goes into the ground.

Magda is developing the overall layout for this garden, while working through the planting design for the first areas to be tackled.

The garden will evolve in stages, but the design starts by looking at the space as a whole — how the different areas connect, where the structure sits, and how the planting will bring everything together.

A first glimpse at the ideas taking shape on screen.
