What is the easiest way to transform your garden? With plants, plants and more plants. Plants can transform any space, from the blank canvas of a new build property to an established garden. In fact, would it even be a garden without plants?
What do we use plants for?
- To create shelter, offer privacy or screen out unwanted views, define boundaries and divide the space within
- To attract wildlife and pollinators
- Create a sanctuary
- To add colour and interest
- To transform a garden
- To create a themed garden
- To ensure winter colour and structure
- To create a focal point or height, drama and atmosphere
Pleached trees (below) are perfect for creating instant privacy. To find out more about the types of screening plants we have <click here>

The power of plants
Therapists are now prescribing gardening for depression and it’s very easy to see why. It gets you outside, forms a connection with nature and gives you a sense of purpose, not to mention, achievement. Successfully caring for plants is very rewarding. Plants know no boundaries; they are accessible to everyone, no matter the size and shape of your garden (you don’t even need to own a garden). They offer us a simple way to reconnect with nature, calm a busy mind and focus on the moment.
Blank canvas
Many new builds leave the garden a completely blank canvas. By introducing plants into the garden we have created a private space to relax and entertain in whilst encouraging wildlife and pollinating insects.
The right planting scheme can transform a suburban garden into an exotic paradise.
Go big and give back with trees
When you plant a tree you not only create a focal point for your garden you also…
- Provide oxygen
- Remove carbon from the atmosphere
- Food, protection and homes for birds and mammals
- Preserve soil
