Eleanor Oborne Garden Design

"The first purpose of a garden is to be a place of quiet beauty such as will give delight to the eye and repose and refreshment to the mind." ~Gertrude Jekyll

The garden is the natural extension to your home. The multi-functional space for summer barbecues and family games to growing your own vegetables and reading a good book under the shade of an old cherry tree.  It should relax, inspire and create memories, and be a place where you want to spend time.

Having a well-designed and cohesive garden compliments the home and provides a seasonally shifting backdrop of ever-changing colour and interest. It adds value to your home, connects you to the landscape around you and will transform your garden into a space you love and can be proud of.

Creating that place of quiet beauty and balancing it with the needs of a modern home can be an overwhelming prospect. Where to start?! For many people, bringing in a Garden Designer in the same way you might an Architect or Interior Designer, takes away the daunting elements and turns the process into an enjoyable and shared journey.

It begins with appointing a professional designer with an eye for detail and finesse, and a beautiful bespoke design taking into consideration all your wants and wishes for the space. I can help you with every detail of the landscaping and planting, providing you with reassurance that everything is being thought of, and leaving you to make the fun decisions like which blossoming spring tree to pick for your shady reading corner!
