PLANTING DESIGN SUITABLE FOR SCOTLAND
Our planting design service focuses on creating beautiful, holistic and sustainable planting schemes across Glasgow, Helensburgh, Argyll and Beyond. We design planting for residential homes, for public spaces and community gardens – from front and back gardens, expansive landscapes, and everything in between. Each planting scheme brings life and character to your garden that:
- Revitalises tired borders and/or creates new ones
- Rejuvenates existing overgrown plants in your garden and integrates them in the new scheme
- Creates an entire scheme for a newly built garden
- Addresses challenges in your garden (eg. unsightly views, poor soil, uninteresting plant selection)
Ecological plant communities that thrive and reduce work
When you choose plants that suit your garden’s conditions and soil, they bring life and character to the space. They create year-round interest, atmosphere, and valuable habitat for wildlife above and below ground.
Carefully selected plants also form resilient ecological communities. As the garden evolves, these plant communities reduce maintenance, help address climate challenges, and improve your health and wellbeing.

With our expert knowledge in the conditions and ecology of Scotland, we will work with you to design a planting scheme that:

Planting design in Scotland
We are a small award-winning landscape and garden design studio based in the west of Scotland and accredited with the Society of Garden and Landscape Designers.
Rachel established the practice because she believes that gardens and landscapes, when designed, built, and managed with sustainable ecological principles and care, can offer a haven for people and wildlife and help restore our natural world.
Committed to this vision, our small, professional and friendly team has created everything from small courtyard gardens to large expansive landscapes thriving off a collaborative approach with like-minded clients, professionals and multi-disciplinary teams. We have enjoyed working with a diverse range of clients, including private homeowners, community groups, and commercial businesses.
As a team, we continue to grow our knowledge through professional development, adding new perspectives and creative ecological solutions.
We are fully insured for public liability and professional indemnity and are registered with the Science and Advice for Scottish Agriculture (SASA) for plant passports, as required by law.
