What Makes a Garden Design Sustainable?

Garden designers naturally have a real interest in how their actions impact the spaces they work in. But as responsible designers, we also need to understand how these actions impact the wider world.

The secret to making a tiny garden is actually to add MORE to it! 

It seems counter intuitive, but if there are large features and every inch of the space is packed with detail, it takes you longer to see all of the garden. Whilst your brain is absorbing all of the detail it then makes seem bigger! 

This was the Pocket Garden Makeover that I did with @bbctheoneshow and @the_rhs 🙌. 

Let me know what your favourite bits of this garden are and if you have any challenging small spaces yourself 🪴

I’m not a photographer and have no idea what I’m doing with a camera really, but I do enjoy taking photos. I definitely end up in some weird positions trying to get the right shot though 😂. 

We only completed this garden a week ago and already looks great, so I can’t wait to come back and snap it properly when it fills out… Or get my professional mate @jacobgibbinsphoto to take some better pics!

Watch until the end to see some EPIC views of Dartmoor 😎

I’ve only just completed this design and build and it already looks amazing. The plot is very exposed and was mostly lawn, so it was crying out for some planting to make it feel like a garden. Give it a month or so and it will look unbelievable when the perennials start filling out. 

A lot of hard graft went into this in some scorching weather! 

More to share as it develops 🙌
