Garden design that nourishes body and soul
If you have a small patch of earth and no idea how to make it green, we are here to help. We know it can feel overwhelming to turn garden dreams into reality, especially when you are balancing sensory needs, a budget, or the restrictions of renting.
As a qualified horticulturist and designer, Meg provides thoughtful and inclusive guidance. Whether you have a balcony, a tiny courtyard, or a rental backyard, we help you create something beautiful, calming, and easy to care for.
