Owen Brooks

My journey from professional chef to planting designer gives me a unique creative edge. Years spent working with flavour, colour and presentation means I have a natural understanding of how a great palette works and how important personal expression is in any design.

Owen's Background and Experience

With over 20 years experience as a horticulturist, plantsman and garden designer I combine this creative background with deep plant knowledge and a meticulous eye for detail. Every garden is approached as an individual project, carefully designed to reflect both your home and your personality.

Inspired by Nature, Guided by Innovation

Passionate about staying current, I keep up to date with new ideas and innovations in the planting world, including sustainable gardens, climate resilient planting and diverse meadow planting The result is a thoughtful, long-lasting planting scheme that looks good throughout the year and continues to evolve beautifully over time.

Sustainable Garden Design

Aftercare is always carried out with sustainability in mind. The focus is on helping the garden settle in a way that works with its natural conditions rather than relying on constant intervention.

By looking after the soil and supporting healthy plant growth, the garden becomes more resilient and easier to manage as it matures. Gentle guidance over time helps it develop into a space that feels balanced, natural and full of life through the seasons.
