When we bought our new-build house, the garden was a ‘blank canvas’ – in other words, an unappealing expanse of scrappy lawn and fence with absolutely terrible soil! I was daunted by the prospect of trying to create an entire garden from scratch; I had a few ideas about the kind of garden I wanted, but no idea at all how to bring those ideas to life. Thank goodness for Helen! A great listener, she ‘got’ the brief right from the outset and delivered a design that was visually stunning, and worked from a practical point of view as well. A very knowledgeable plantswoman, she recommended many wonderful varieties that were new to me, and which would thrive in our very challenging soil conditions. As importantly, she project-managed the entire process, and we were really happy with the contractors and suppliers she recommended. The whole project ran incredibly smoothly and, at the end of it, we have a stunning garden that looks great throughout the year. In the first summer after planting, nobody believed that our garden was less than 12 months old.
