Claire enjoyed an afternoon in Balham with a client who had an Earth Designs garden design consultation voucher. The final sketch included a curved raised bed with a fixed seat nestled into the curve and a daybed platform constructed from decking complete with weatherproof cushions for reclining on.
A postal garden design for a client in Northumberland is nearing completion, the design features artificial lawn and raised beds to keep destruction from the family dog to a minimum.
Earth Designs new gardens are in the process of being photographed professionally. We had this exciting message from one of the photographers after photographing a garden build in Kent: "Hi Claire, just to let you know that I went to Sevenoaks on Friday and had a very good time. Emma is a delightful person and couldn’t have been more helpful and welcoming. I kept saying to Emma that I had thought I would photograph the garden in a couple of hours, but I found it engrossing and in the end I spent much longer and went back in the evening to do the lighting. The garden is great. There are so many viewpoints and angles and is obviously a very good way to make a small space into a kind of adventure. I love the idea that, although you can’t see the whole garden at once, there are actually no hard boundaries at all, but just some angled boards. So it retains lightness. I will send the pictures on when I have editied, but in the meantime, thank you very much. All the best, Marcus"
Work on the garden build Willesden Green has been slowed due to the wet weather, however the decking is near complete.
