Rachel Forbes Landscape and Garden Design

I believe that gardens should be inspiring and uplifting places to be, as well as productive, functional and fun. I aim to design in a holistic way, incorporating sustainable practice, encouraging biodiversity and wildlife, and using a sensitive palette of materials appropriate to the site and its surroundings. I am inspired by the the wider landscape and firmly believe that access to green space and a close relationship with nature is fundamental to our wellbeing. All projects start with an initial consulation to chat about your vision and requirements, followed by a proposal outlining services to be provided and estimated fees. We will then start the collaborative process of putting together a unique design for your outdoor space. Our amazing garden is looking fabulous! The last two weekends we have had beautiful Saturdays with visits from friends with small children, 11 months and just 2 years and the babes have just been fascinated with the colours and the bees and the butterflies and the walkways. It has been simply delightful, literally hours of just pottering and smelling and looking Working with Rachel has been such a pleasure. Rachel listened to what I wanted to achieve from my neglected walled garden and produced some excellent ideas and plans. I now have a garden that is a beautiful space to be in. Since the original design Rachel has worked with me on planting plans and developing further areas of the garden. Rachel’s enthusiasm is contagious, her knowledge covers so many areas and she is willing to research anything. I am looking forward to continuing working with her on new projects

Rachel takes time to understand a client’s preferences and how the space will be used and works within budget to create a practical but beautiful garden. She is a pleasure to work with and her plant knowledge is vast. I would highly recommend her services whether considering a garden refurb or major makeover.
