Testimonials

“Tessa has been beautifully caring for my gardens in two different homes for over 12 years, and has created two designs for me. The first was a planting design using the existing landscaping which I enjoyed for many years as the garden matured. Then following a recent kitchen extension, she created a completely new design to complement the more contemporary structure of the extension. As well as really knowing all about plants, Tessa listens and has an intuitive sense of how I might enjoy and use a garden. She has integrated favourite plants of mine, but has introduced new ideas too. Tessa is friendly, knowledgeable, meticulous and I always appreciate her care and professionalism.”

“I love my newly designed garden. I wasn’t really using it before. It was a very plain and boring square where little grew. Now it’s interesting with lots of plants and flowers and I can’t wait to spend time in my garden and see how it looks each season.
It’s been a pleasure to work with Tessa. She listened to my ideas and what I wanted then designed a garden for me, keeping me in the loop on all decisions. It’s been great to see my garden develop at every stage from a building site to the beautiful end.”

“I was previously totally bored with my garden which had deteriorated into a monoculture of just a few plants. Tessa listened to my ideas and was a pleasure to work with.  Her plans combined structure and texture, with light airy planting, and united the shady side with the dry, sunny side.  Now it is a complete joy as well as a source of solace. I am thrilled with my garden!'“

Tessa and her team created a beautiful garden for us. As I write this, I'm sitting on the dreamy bench at the back of the new garden, sipping coffee, and thanking my lucky stars ... 😉 ! I really enjoyed the process of choosing a design for the garden. Tessa started by asking me about what I was looking for in a garden (my answer: a refuge from the speed and pressure of the working day), how I was hoping to use it (my answer: to chill out, slow down, and enjoy the present moment) and what kind of atmosphere I was after (my answer: dreamy, gentle, wildlife-friendly). Tessa then went away and came up with three possible designs for me to choose from (and modify a little). After that, the hard landscaping work began which was carried out with speed and professionalism. Finally, the planting, again done very professionally and to budget. I really appreciated the fact that I was able to leave all of the project management to Tessa and her team so that all I had to do was look forward to my new garden- which I am now able to enjoy hugely every single day 🙂 !
