Community Gardens
Creating climate resilient spaces where communities grow together
We are experienced in creating community gardens, working with diverse community groups to develop holistic ecological designs that are thoughtfully tailored to each community’s unique needs.
As a result, our community gardens are crafted to benefit the entire community – human and more than human.
We create our designs so that they can be implemented in practical phases as funding allows. This allows steady and achievable progress.
We’re dedicated to helping you build a lasting community space, with sustainable planting schemes and adaptable ideas. This approach ensures the space remains beautiful and manageable, even as volunteers and key workers change over time.

Community gardens are more than just a growing space. They provide places for social connection, health and well-being, wildlife and climate benefits. We love working with committed groups who want to make a difference to their communities. Get in touch with us today.
Community Gardens 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.
