The Newmarket Garden project brief was to seamlessly blend the architecture of the early 1900's cottage with a new large contemporary addition that is cleverly hidden from street view. The clients wanted the garden to incorporate the very different architectural styles and provide a soft haven with light and leafy shadow. Seed Landscapes offered the transitional property a well-considered garden plan, creating a number of serene and inviting outdoor spaces. Donna managed the project from design, site clearance, arranging contractors, through to completed construction and planting installation.
Here is what the client had to say...
Donna is an absolutely fantastic landscape designer. She has a lovely warm manner and is incredibly 'in tune' with what people want for their gardens, but what sets her apart is that she is also the ultimate professional. Her attention to detail is faultless, her in-depth knowledge of not just plants, flowers and trees, but also soil is exceptional. She turned our 'blasted heath/scorched earth' into a paradise. My mother had some very specific requests including no hedges and no lawns, so she gave us some flowering screens, and a no-mow area, she gave us a veggie patch, a herb garden, and then the most amazing trees and pots. All our neighbours have commented about how lovely our garden looks - I simply cannot rate Donna highly enough.

Turning Ideas Into Gardens – It All Starts With Seed
At Seed we believe that gardens are for living. I love working with clients to change how they live, relate and connect in the garden. It really does improve families lives having a garden that works for you. It gives me great joy and satisfaction to see how the garden experience for my family of clients is transformed. I am proud to be part of this and honoured to be able to share my expression in the form of beautiful living spaces for people.
Gardens are dynamic, evocative, touchable spaces. Change your environment and you will be transported. We aim to provide value to our clients by guiding them to visualise and achieve a garden they absolutely love
