Our Seasonal Planters service offers a refined approach to container gardening. Designed for private homes, terraces, balconies and front gardens, this is a structured planting programme that ensures your outdoor spaces evolve harmoniously throughout the year. Each installation is curated by our horticultural team, selecting plant varieties that reflect the season’s palette, texture and movement – from structured spring bulbs and layered perennials to autumn grasses and winter evergreens.
– Quarterly seasonal replanting
– Soil refresh and plant health assessment
– Pruning and refinement of existing containers
– Optional monthly maintenance visits
– One-off seasonal installations available
Seasonal planting provides continuity and atmosphere. Whether framing an entrance, softening a balcony, or defining a courtyard, our team ensures each container feels abundant, balanced and quietly expressive.

Our garden design service is led by Head of Horticulture Byron Thomas and Head Gardener Edward Parkinson. With decades of practical design experience between them, their work is grounded in plant knowledge and ecological sensitivity.
Each project begins with a considered site assessment, understanding soil, aspect, microclimate and architectural context before developing a cohesive planting and structural plan.
– Full garden redesign
– Planting plans and border schemes
– Courtyard and terrace transformation
– Kitchen gardens and productive planting
– Long-term planting strategy
We design gardens that mature beautifully. Structure underpins each scheme, allowing planting to soften and animate the space. Materiality, proportion and seasonality are central to every project.
