"Thank you so much for the beautiful plans, both Toby and I feel that you have completely nailed the brief and are really pleased..."
Felicity & Toby, East Sussex

“We have now had a summer in our newly designed garden and we couldn’t be happier. Thank you for so carefully taking down our initial wishes, and for translating these into spaces and borders filled with exactly the kind of plants we had hoped for. You took our ideas and elevated them into something far better than we could have come up with ourselves. And the garden is developing as you said it would: the colours work together (and very much also with the house), and the structure is perfect. There’s such a good balance of formal and informal. And on a personal note: thank you for holding our hands during the process and for overseeing the build. This made things very easy for us. We love it. Thank you so much!”
Darion and Emily, East Sussex

"We love it! ...We think it’s brilliant and can’t wait to see it come to life. You interpreted our brief so well - it’s better than anything I could’ve imagined and yet I can totally imagine it and imagine our house sat amongst your design..."
Jessica, East Sussex

"Francesca and Emma have just redesigned the planting in my garden, and I am delighted with the result. They understood exactly what looks natural and it looks great."
"Thank you, thank you, for making the garden so lovely and for being so understanding about my wants! I love what you both have done."
D.N. East Sussex

"Emma listened most carefully to what I wanted and was particularly helpful in the choice of plants. Her design has transformed a small, oddly shaped new build garden which had after three years slipped into a home for dandelions, into a gorgeous and inspiring space which changes from season to season and is reasonably easy to maintain. She introduced good people to do the hard landscaping and the end result is something that everyone who sees it is bowled over by. I am thrilled and I would have no hesitation in recommending her."
Alison, East Sussex

"We can't thank you enough for coming over. We think you are both absolutely wonderful and we are hugely inspired. Thank you for agreeing to take on our little project when we know you have such hectic professional lives.
You are also both such inspiring people. So positive and committed to what you do. We feel very privileged to be able to tap into your expertise. We've enjoyed every moment of your stay with us and hope it will be the first of many."
Ros & Tony Lockhart, France

"A new home on a building site - quite a challenge to create a beautiful but manageable garden for a working couple who had limited time to tend and keep the garden tidy.
Then we met Francesca who was inspirational in her approach. Along with ease of maintenance, a kitchen garden, play areas for the grand-children and plants to attract wildlife and birds were considered within her design. Francesca was creative, hardworking and took on board our requirements, and we now have a fabulous garden that provides year round enjoyment to all.
We highly recommend Francesca, she has outstanding qualities and we are so pleased with the garden she has created for us."
Tracey and James, East Sussex

"It has been such a rewarding and exciting experience working with Francesca throughout the total redesign and landscaping of our garden. From the start she has listened closely to our ideas, and what we needed and wanted from our garden, gently guiding us through from beginning to end, working so hard to get it just right for us. Francesca has such a wealth of knowledge and is so enthusiastic, professional and friendly. It was such fun to work with her! The garden is now sprouting up and it gives us so much pleasure to watch it grow and mature - and it looks amazing!"
Sophie Kirk, East Sussex

"Francesca has been gardening for us since 2004. She has been involved in the creation of a walled vegetable garden, a Zen garden, a water garden and various other projects. She is very creative, endlessly enthusiastic and has a real passion for her work. We would highly recommend her."
Val & Peter Stephens, East Sussex

"Francesca helped us through a total re-design and replanting of our garden and was so friendly and enthusiastic, excellent at listening to our ideas and tailoring them to the time we had to spend and level of expertise we had to look after it. She was very patient with us as garden novices, extremely knowledgeable but not patronising, brimming with enthusiasm. Would recommend her wholehearted for any garden project big or small."
Rose Colville, East Sussex

"Francesca has an innate gift of creative vision and design, which we only began to fully recognise with successive garden designs at the Hampton Court Flower Shows. These garden designs rightly gained her a wider audience both from her peers and clients.
Francesca carried out a complete re-design of our own gardens and we are thrilled with its richly varied lay out which gives us great pleasure. Francesca combines her creative skills with a strong work ethic."
