Garden evolution and retreats For many people their whole garden is a retreat, it is a place to
pull away from the world, potter around and generally relax. I sometimes think that a lot of people don’t make the most of their own garden space, no matter how small your garden is you can create wonderful private and relaxing spaces to enjoy.

I have the pleasure of visiting many gardens within the area, but I always find it very exciting when I visit gardens where I can really see the customer enjoys their garden space. It doesn’t matter what size it is, but I can tell immediately that they truly enjoy it. I can also tell that most of these garden spaces are exactly what they are supposed to be, they are very organic in their nature, in the way they have been created. I know some of you may be thinking I wouldn’t know where to start, but that is the best thing with all of these spaces. I can tell that they have been put together over years via trial and error, and that is the most important thing. They have started and changed and tried different options and as other parts stay and continue to grow they
work and naturally evolve around some of these more heavy centre pieces, be it fountains, trees or other focal points. I can tell they are organic in the fact that they haven’t been one ‘set in stone plan’ from day one, they have grown and evolved into something probably more than originally intended. I think the reason they excite me is that to lay down a plan for a garden like that is almost impossible, and even when client’s get a design from me, no matter how comprehensive it is, ultimately it is a starting point, it is somewhere to work from and whether you do the work yourself or pay your gardener to do it, for me the evolution and continuous growth and change of the space can be more exciting. This is what makes it a garden. I have always said that what I love about building gardens is that unlike when a builder finishes a house it unfortunately starts to decay and get old, when a garden is finished it is only the beginning, and through nurture and care can become amazing.
I often find that these gardens are also the most relaxed spaces, which have wonderful seating areas be it for quiet time, family time or party time. I believe that a garden can’t really have enough spaces within them, you can divide them into little gardens of different styles, or merely different planting types based on the microclimates around the garden.
There are so many different options as to how to plan your garden and sometimes making the phone call to a garden designer like myself will be your first step to a great garden. Make the most of your space, love your garden. Thanks for reading Lee.
