Research visits
Our external visits, either as a team or with clients, mean we’re building on the best when we design your outdoor space…
We’re not big believers in designing to today’s trends; we think your garden should be made for you and made to last.
But we do see huge value in getting up close with the best designs, plants and people. We believe that gardens should embrace their surroundings and particularly love places that showcase the best of northern English gardens.
