Creating a Garden in Cheltenham

January 4, 2022 by Samantha Willis

Garden Design in Cheltenham

This garden had retaining walls and a beautiful aspect but it needed some design to turn a space into a garden

I softened the garden and added interest by adding borders infront of the retaining wall. The view over the hills is so beautiful we didn’t want to ruin the view.
The client wanted to enjoy some fresh vegetables so we created a vegetable area and greenhouse.
Where there were seperate seating areas dotted around the garden we created paths to given the garden a flow.

If you’d like you’re garden designed please contact me by filling in the form or contact me 0771 858 6105
