Our History

Headed by Naila Green, the garden design practice, formed 17 years ago, includes a team of qualified designers and horticulturalists, working for corporate as well as private clients. We have produced residential garden designs for small to large gardens (up to around 4 acres), and large landscape schemes for, both, tourist-based concerns and for commercial organisations such as South West Water plc. We, routinely, deal with Local Authority Planning requirements, Listed Buildings and TPOs (Tree Preservation Orders).

We have also designed and project-managed a large number of show gardens at regional and national RHS (Royal Horticultural Society) shows, including Chelsea and Hampton Court Flower Shows, for clients such as the BBC, General Motors and the RHS itself, and have merited an award for each one, including several gold awards. We are very proud that, in 2005, one of our designs for a large front garden/driveway was awarded a prestigious British Association of Landscape Industries (BALI) National Award.

Apart from providing seminars and lectures for the RHS, and for garden societies, Naila has also taught a variety of garden and planting design courses, including a Professional Garden Design course to Foundation Degree level. She has also designed and authored garden design and planting design courses, as well as, occasionally, writing articles for gardening magazines about garden design and about her own coastal garden, which has been widely featured in books, magazines, newspapers and on TV.

Personally, Naila is a keen gardener, and is passionate about plants and gardens, a passion which provides the driving ethos for all the company's work.

A simple but effective and inexpensive design which can be employed in most small spaces. The plants are in pots, so can be altered to suit the season and the site conditions.

In this instance, this forms the centrepiece to an ornamental potager or vegetable garden.
