It’s no exaggeration to say that Alan really is one of the top gardeners and designers in Europe, and so he will design your garden on-site. He will lay out ropes to show the position of beds and borders, paths and terraces. He will view the garden from your doors and windows, not from the comfort of his studio. This way, you will see a bespoke garden coming together on-site, rather than a virtual garden with computer or paper drawings leading you astray!
You will be able to experience the excitement of being part of this process and realise why Alan does things the way he does. When it comes to the planting, Alan places each plant on the canvas he has helped to create. He describes what he does as "painting pictures with plants". There are not many garden designers that do things this way and it really does improve the process, giving you a first-hand view of a masterpiece being painted and allowing you to appreciate that it’s often the smaller touches that can make all the difference.
Alan and his team are always happy to talk to you. It's your garden, and that's important to both of us. If you need help bringing your vision to fruition, or you’re stumped for inspiration, please do get in touch and you’d be surprised just what we can accomplish together.
