Eden Garden Design

read moreI have always been fascinated by nature and the beauty which is all around us in the birds, animals, insects, plants and sky. My interest in plants and flowers grew during twenty years in Kenya, where I took up botanical watercolour painting. On my return to England in 1989, when we acquired our own property, gardening became my main interest, followed by garden design. After completing a correspondence course with the Institute of Garden Design in Bristol, I then took a City and Guilds course in garden design at the Abingdon and Witney College near Oxford.

We get enormous pleasure from it. We only had a vague idea of what we wanted and Helen translated our thoughts into something tangible and brought our dreams to life. She advised about what flowers and trees to plant and where to put them. We have a mixture of raised and ground level beds and they look lovely. Thank you so much! The meticulously thorough designs by Eden Garden Design have completely transformed our garden from an area that we didn't even want to spend time in to an area in which we spend as much time as possible.
