Damson Garden Design did a planting plan for my my garden. I have been more than pleased with how the borders look. Marie was always at the end of the phone if I struggled to find a plant or needed any advice. I would highly recommend Damson Garden Design for anyone looking to improve their garden.

Marie is a friendly garden designer and is very professional in her approach. Always upfront with the charges and flexible to change at any stage of the project. A professional plan is produced of the design of your garden after discussions so you know how it will look after it is done with all the flowers etc. The plan is produced to scale so any builder/ gardener can use it for reference. I would definitely recommend Marie.

Highly recommended

I asked Marie to come and help me redesign my garden to make it contemporary, wheelchair friendly and easy to manage. Marie was meticulous in her plans for designing my garden ensuring that all my needs were met without losing any aesthetic effect. The planting recommendations she provided with the design were invaluable and she has ensured that I will have planting interest all year around. Throughout the project, she remained heavily involved ensuring that the work that was being done fell in line with her designs and my hopes for the garden. I am delighted with the results and am very much looking forward to enjoying my garden in years to come. I cannot recommend Marie highly enough. Thanks for all of your hard work!
