Sally Bower Landscape & Garden Design

With over twenty years of experience in the North West, I pride myself on bespoke, low impact, nature based landscape design. I work and collaborate with professionals, developers, domestic clients and local communities to respond to the site, its setting and how it will be used.

Sally created a wildfire friendly garden design to complement our contemporary house. We wanted something that would feel abundant and a bit wild and still work with the formal lines of our house, and Sally's clever and elegant design has worked really well for us. A few years on we love it more with every season as the garden fills out and matures, and we share it with bees, butterflies, damselflies, birds and even the occasional wood mouse. It really has been a joy to watch the garden grow. Sally produced outline schemes for hard and soft landscaping and a planting strategy with beautiful sketches and planting suggestions. The outline scheme was sufficiently detailed for our landscaping contractors to be able to work from it directly. We have planted most of the things that Sally originally suggested and the overall scheme gives us a structure to work with when adding new plants into the mix. Sally's interest in wildlife friendly design reflects her deep commitment to sustainability. I would recommend Sally to anyone looking for high quality garden design, and especially to people who are interested in a sustainable and wildlife friendly approach.

Sally helped with the planting design in our garden, and we are extremely pleased with the outcome. Communication throughout was excellent and Sally attentively listened to our requests. We look forward to Spring and spending time in the garden. Thanks Sally!

We have been very happy to have had Sally helping us redesign our garden to fit in with house rebuild. She listened to what we felt and thought, and tried to create with us a place of beauty, calm, spirituality and hospitality. We felt that the garden should be almost an 'extension of the spirit of the house' which we feel it is. Now several months on she has revisited to advise. She is deeply knowledgeable and sensitive. In the weeks of lockdown the garden has been a refuge, to walk along the paths, sit in stillness, watch new plants growing and birds arriving.

I asked Sally to come and look at a very overgrown garden that I had taken on, with a view to getting some ideas about how to tackle it. She not only did that, but after taking the time to really get to know me and my family she really understood both how we wanted to use the garden and also what design elements were important to us. We commissioned a sketch plan which was fabulous - it practically dealt with the garden in front of us, and our limited budget, and also took a wonderfully creative approach so that the design is inspired by our other interests and passions. The sketch is now our guide in everything we do as we slowly clear the patch and build the garden ourselves, and it is all coming together beautifully. I highly recommend Sally Bower Landscape Design whether you want her to do the whole job or just provide some inspiration and guidance with a sketch plan.

Sally redesigned our garden for us and it has given us an enormous amount of pleasure. She spoke to us at length about our wants and needs and offered a couple of schemes that would fit the space. We discussed the plants to use and Sally never tried to force her ideas on us.She collaborated with the landscaper and would come round when needed to see him or us if there was an issue. We would highly recommend Sally. She has a great depth of knowledge and cares passionately about the environment.
