A Dog’s Life Garden designed by Paul Hervey-Brookes for The Dogs Trust
As Dogs Trust celebrates its 125th anniversary, this garden marks the charity’s commitment to finding new, loving owners for thousands of homeless dogs every year.
PMS: Outside Inside Garden for NAPS designed by Emma Bannister @pmsgarden
The garden is inspired by the stories of those who suffer from severe premenstrual syndrome. The common native planting on the outside contrasts with the inaccessible space and distorted planting inside.
World Vision Garden designed by John Warland
The World Vision Garden symbolises journeys of life. Inspired by the lives of children around the world, the floating waves of turf each represent an individual life.
A breath of Fresh Air design by Rae Wilkinson for The Abbeyfield Society
Breathing new life into the concept of a sensory garden and celebrating 60 years of The Abbeyfield Society, the design has created a calming space for older people and specifically those living with dementia.
A Summer Retreat designed by Laura Arison and Amanda Waring for CCLA
Inspired by the ethos of the Arts and Crafts Movement, the garden embraces the values of simplicity, elegance, style and craftsmanship. It is designed to be either a separate garden room adjoined to a larger space or an entity on its own.
The Lavender Garden designed by Paula Napper, Sarah Warren and Donna King
The design is inspired by the scent, colour and romance of lavenders grown at a dairy farm on the rolling hills of the South Downs National Park.

Lisa Cox, is an award-winning SGD designer who transforms gardens into inspiring spaces. Lisa created a beautiful family garden in Oxshott, Surrey and chose our Elveden Instant Hedge to complement her beautiful design creating a soft boundary in laurel on a fence line. Lisa created a blog when first implementing the project with an update a year later.
Patrick Collins and St George’s Hospital
We are delighted to have helped Patrick Collins recreate his RHS Chelsea Flower Show Garden at St George’s Hospital. Patrick has been working with First Touch, which is a charity that supports sick and premature babies at St Georges Hospital.
Patrick created a garden that fits in seamlessly to the surroundings aided by the maturity of the 1.2m high Beech Elveden Instant Hedge. The garden was officially opened by TV news reader Sophie Raworth who unveiled the plaque and declared the First Touch legacy garden open. See more details in the projects page.
The Elveden Instant Hedge™ has been used extensively by Garden Designers at both at RHS Chelsea and Hampton Court Flower Shows 2014 and the results have been impressive with Golds, Silver Gilts, Silver Flora and Bronze. See more details in the projects page.

Practicality Brown was asked to plant two large trees into small residential gardens on a new boundary of a University in Camden Town, London. The residents had their existing trees removed during the demolition of the old boundary wall to make way for the erection of a new one.
