Current projects

  Buckland House,
  Wiltshire

  Formerly two dwellings, this old Georgian building has been converted by the young owners into a comfortable house for their young family.

  The garden is being developed whilst work on the house is completed. This has required close liason with both architect and building contractors. Completed elements of our design include a tennis court, garden pavilion, new borders, drive and forecourt.

  Ormonde Gate Gardens,
  London

  This commission involves the design of a communal garden for the residents of a garden square in London. At present, the garden consists of a few desultory trees and shrubs, some forlorn borders and a worn gravel path.

  The project is at an early stage involving liaison with residents and the garden committee to establish a framework for the design.

  Cooleville,
  Ireland

  Located near Cork in Co. Cork, this project presents an exciting design opportunity. Around the grounds of the house lie the massive stone ruins of late eighteenth century grain and textile mills.

  The brief is to provide a coherent framework of structural planting and to redesign the gardens around the house and the grounds of the surrounding estate. A network of streams and canals on the property provided water power for the mills. The combination of romantic ruins and water, set against misty mountains, and the mild Irish climate, provide an opportunity reminiscent of Ninfa, that magical garden south of Rome in Italy.

  Agnos House,
  Corfu

  A family home, set within an olive grove planted under Venetian rule, has been under construction over a period of three years.

  Set amongst a grove of olives trees planted under Venetion rule a family home has been constructed over a period of three years. Trees Associates have been commissioned to develop a master plan in conjunction with local Architect Pericles Laskis. Across the narrow straits that separate Corfu from Albania the austere landscape of the mainland has changed little since the Middle Ages and provides a dramatic backdrop to the garden.

  Hillyfields,
  Sussex

  This garden has been designed to complement a new country house in the Weald of Kent. Now in its second year, it is developing well with the help of dedicated owners. Intensive remedial ground works at the start of the project have meant that the heavy clay soil has proved surprisingly resilient to the impact of the building works.

  A formal reflective pool and avenue of hornbeam obelisks anchors the house into the site and frames the main view from the house across the valley. The garden also contains a productive potager and greenhouse enclosed within hornbeam hedges.
