We design and create beautiful gardens across Brighton and Sussex, blending imagination with a passion for all things plants. From coastal escapes to stylish town spaces, our gardens are made to grow with you and bring everyday joy.
Remarkable gardens begins with remarkable people. Based here in Brighton and across Sussex, our team combines creative vision with deep rooted horticultural expertise. With experience stretching from Architecture to Interior Design and crafting award-winning RHS show gardens, we bring both passion and precision to everything we do.
From our two coastal studios, we pair fresh design ideas with hands-on horticultural know-how. Whether your project is a modern Brighton townhouse garden, a coastal escape along the Sussex shoreline, or a tucked-away country retreat in the Downs, we approach each garden with the same balance of artistry and practical skill.
From contemporary gardens that flourish in the sea air to timeless retreats nestled inland, we design spaces that feel perfectly at home in Brighton and throughout Sussex.
We love designing in Brighton and along the South East coast of the UK because it’s home for us. It’s where we live, spend our time, and draw so much of our inspiration. Brighton’s vibrancy and creativity is something we see and feel every day, and it naturally spills into the way we approach gardens, whether that’s through bold colours, playful ideas, or a focus on spaces that feel alive and full of character.
Living here, we know how much people value being outdoors – catching the sea breeze, enjoying a sunny terrace, or creating a cosy corner to escape the wind. That love of outdoor living is something we’re really passionate about bringing into our designs. From the coastal energy of Brighton to the peaceful countryside tucked just inland, we’re constantly inspired by the variety of styles and settings around us.
As coastal garden design specialists, we understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with living by the sea. We design with plants that are not only hardy and low-maintenance but also thrive in coastal conditions. Our aim is to create gardens that feel effortless to care for while still being full of life, colour and character. Spaces that truly flourish on the Sussex coast.
