A courtyard garden in Oxford

May 9, 2018 by Samantha Willis

Courtyard Garden

Small courtyard garden in Oxford

This courtyard garden in Oxford required a rethink, the previous bright colours had faded and it only had seating space for 1.  It required a design for more seating space whilst enabling the Client to still have lovely plants to look at from the kitchen.

A windswept Oxfordshire garden

December 5, 2013 by Samantha Willis

I have designed this garden to flow around the house, providing interest all year round.  As this garden is in a particularly windy spot I have planted this country garden with shelter spots and plants that billow with the wind providing interest.  This is also designed with troublesome rabbits proving that you can have rampant rabbits and lovely plants.

Cool and Shady

December 5, 2013 by Samantha Willis

This was a competition garden at the Malvern Show.  We had to paint a picture in plants and I chose to replicate Cezanne.  I was delighted to be people’s choice for this competition enabling me to win £1000 for our school garden.

Formal front garden in Oxfordshire

December 5, 2013 by Samantha Willis

I mirrored some of the formal planting by the house and used the silver birches and curving borders to soften the planting and move away from the symmetry by the house. Creating a lush garden that can be viewed from the house.

A mature shade garden

December 5, 2013 by Samantha Willis

This lovely garden has some very mature trees casting shadow and absorbing water.  We have slowly transformed the garden from barren borders to luscious shade loving plants in harmony with their surroundings.

A family garden in Northamptonshire

Hopscotch path designed for children to play

A family Garden

This garden was a delight to build as it was an old pub carpark with masses of rubble.  We transformed it to family garden that includes a small vegetable plot, a patio area, children’s play area and a gravel garden.  The gravel garden takes you into the garden as enabling you to play hopscotch down the path to the rest of the garden.

English Country Garden

December 5, 2013 by Samantha Willis

This was simply designing a patio area to suit the surrounding garden and work with the house and the new conservatory.  Old reclaimed York stone works beautifully in this situation.
