Selina Botham - Designs for all Seasons

Some spring shots we got from a project in Esher completed last year.

Bulb planting is part of every project we do. It’s a small act with a big meaning - a promise that the garden will always move, change and surprise you. 🌷

When tulips emerge, they’re the first signal that renewal is on its way and the seasons are shifting again.

Slopes and severe level change in a garden pose a serious design challenge and is all too often resolved with flattening the majority of the space then relying on large, often ugly retaining walls close to the boundary.

If considered correctly, level changes can enhance a garden and create intrigue with hidden pockets or focal points.

Swipe to see how this Esher garden was transformed from inaccessible, unused slopes to sweeping borders with exploration, seating and a destination.

Not every garden project starts with a full redesign.

Sometimes you just need clarity, ideas, and a plan to move forward with confidence.

Our new Garden Consultation + Sketch Design service is designed as a simple first step. We visit your garden, talk through how you want to use the space, and create a hand-drawn layout to help you plan your garden in phases and tackle improvements over time.

Perfect if you’re feeling stuck, planning DIY changes, or simply unsure where to begin.

How lovely to receive this message and photos from our client in Effingham. ⭐️

“I can’t tell you how much I am enjoying the ever evolving garden…something new to see every day.”

This garden design was a huge transformation for this lovely family who can now enjoy their garden all year round. It was completed with 3000 + spring bulbs which we planted in October last year - these are the stars of the show currently.

🌷🌿I’ll share before and after pictures next week, so you can see the whole transformation!

In winter it’s all about the layers, structure and little moments in nature. Moss is truly beautiful and there are so many types to touch and admire.
