The Gardens

Every garden setting is unique and, just as importantly, every garden owner, so our designs reflect this. We hope you enjoy looking through the garden gallery, but if you want something completely different we can probably do that too!

Our Clients Say....

"I cannot thank Jayne enough for her advice and help, planning my 3 acres of walled garden. She listened to the flowers I liked and the colours I wanted, and with great consideration of the position of the garden and the soil, came up with what is turning out to be a perfect design. Every tree and shrub is happy in its situation, and in a few years time I will have a lovely colourful, easily maintained garden. I could not have managed it all without her, and she was a pleasure to work with."

- Maureen Jessetts

"Jayne planned a garden exactly to our specification, using existing materials and providing us with a low maintenance garden in sympathy with the house. She provided excellent planting notes and guidance on follow up care of the garden. So much so, that she has also designed our back garden at the Bank House and hopefully will be planning another garden for us in our new house."

- John and Carol Pease, Blackford

Dear Jayne, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and creative design work in our front garden – we love it! We feel very blessed indeed.

- Jane and Kevin, Stirling

Jayne’s design provided the framework which has transformed an arid stretch of tarmac into a small and intimate garden that, still in its first year, has given us endless pleasure and interest.

- Private client, Doune

Jayne is an instinctive garden designer. Her natural sense of design and abundant horticultural knowledge combines perfectly with a strong practical sense. We now have a garden that all six of us delight in and our visitor’s exclaim at.

- Iona Leishman, Dunblane

“We are all delighted with the new garden. We used to be embarrassed by the garden and overwhelmed by the work it needed, but now we are really proud of it. Everyone in the family uses the garden much more now, and our daughter wants to play outside all the time.”

- Francesca Tellini

“Jayne has created a lovely garden from a sea of mud and builders' rubble. It meets our requirements for something easy to maintain. The garden sits well in our country setting and compliments our house beautifully. All in all we are quite thrilled with Jayne and her team's work and are looking forward to sitting outside taking in our stunning new surroundings.”
