I'm Claire, a garden designer based in Forest Gate, East London. I can help with many aspects of garden design, including advice, planting design, masterplan and project management.
Your garden should bring joy when you look at it and when you are in it. The shapes, the colours, the planting, the materials, the way it changes throughout the year and in different lights and weathers are all carefully considered when I am designing for you.
I imagine how you will feel as you move through your garden, the journeys you will go on and the emotions they will inspire.
Even the most beautiful garden will be underused if it is not practical to be in. There is no point having a beautiful seat if it is uncomfortable to sit on, or magnificent steps that are awkward to walk on, beautiful plant beds that are impossible to maintain.
I am a true believer that beauty and practicality can and should exist together, and the garden I design for you will not only be stunning, but also comfortable and easy - the beauty draws you in and the practicality makes you stay.
My designs will always consider sustainability and the planet, whether it is a specific design feature such as a rain garden, a choice of material, or the method with which the garden will be built.
The changes you make to your garden will have an impact on the planet as well as the people who use it not just now, but for years to come. Your garden is a legacy to be left for future generations, and together we will ensure it is a legacy to be proud of.
I'm a garden designer based in Forest Gate, East London. I trained as a garden designer at the renowned Inchbald School of Design, where I graduated with Distinction.
I love thinking outside the box and, more importantly, truly listening to your needs. I don't have a particular style, instead each design is tailored to your particular taste. My goal is to bring your dream garden to life with imaginative solutions that reflect your personality.
I will dedicate a lot of time to researching and exploring ideas, ensuring that every detail of the design is just right. Your space deserves thoughtful, well-considered solutions. Let's create a space that fulfils your dreams!
