Planting With Intention
Simple changes can make a whole difference to your plants, full design, part design or awkward corner its the preparation that that helps you reap the rewards. Just as we communicate with each other so do your plants, they listen to each other, but we need to communicate with them as well, not all plants are happy in their planting area make them happy. Look after your plants and they will draw you into the outdoors, thats communicating with you.
From Border Plans to full garden planting, thought, knowledge and intention and a little experience can and will make all the difference.

Pests,plants and management
Its all about keeping your plants looking good and healthy all year round,the soil, nutrients and plant selection.
Use your plants to blend with you and the garden, renovate old borders, re-plan areas, enhance other features ( Conservatory, Extension, Garden Room ) let them work with you not against you.
When I was training at Bristol Zoological Gardens, we had a reputation to keep up and the team of gardeners always did it with a passion.

Focused Garden Design - Focused On You
Destination gardens ( your own space ) - Wildlife havens - Sustainability - Relaxed not Refined - Bold colours and container gardening - Natural planting - Regenerative practices - Crafted spaces not manufactured - Small wild spaces - Utilise empty space - Entertainment areas - Play areas
No set styles in our designs as every garden and client are unique in their own right, from courtyard to entrances ( first impressions ), to front gardens to large areas or gardens, community meeting areas - public areas - care homes - residential housing
New builds - With new builds its vital that we make sensible use of the often small available space. You could be a professional couple who would like to just sit and relax at the end of the day, invite people over, you may have young children who need play space as well as chill time space, pets, the list could go on. But this is why Inspire focus every design on the clients and there lives, not the extravagance of a show garden.

Learning in the garden - Discover, connect, explore, create, breathe
Your garden is a year round living class room, every season is different, there is always something to learn and new challenges which will test your life skills, it can be a transformation from a open space to a space of life, interests and surprises.
No matter what subject you have an interest in the garden will provide a section solely connected with it. Science, Maths, Literacy, Art and Design and languages, the latin names will become your every day labels in a short space of time. The garden will inspire your curiosity and your independent thoughts, it will be different to your neighbours, it not only has its own bio diversity but will allow you to create a bio diversity all of its own.
Its not WHAT it does, its more WHY does it do it
So to escape the desk or your armchair how do you learn ?
Well, rather than pay for a course, be given subjects totally irrelevant to your garden ( or interest ) and worry about a test at the end we come to you.
No set times, learning in your garden ( no travelling ), no exams, learn how to manage and look after the plants in your garden, cover positive aspects that your plants will thank you for such as soil, light, air, how and when to water ( especially in dry conditions )
All the photographs on this website are from gardens I have either created or managed to bring out the plants at there best, you can do the same, an album of before and after will show just how much you understand not only the garden but also you understand the needs of the plants as well.
