Creative, Sustainable Planting Designs
Specialising in planting design and soft landscaping, I create beautiful and sustainable planting schemes that will bring your garden to life, often without the need for a full garden redesign.
I work closely with local nurseries to source plants suited to your garden’s conditions, designing thoughtful planting palettes that provide colour, texture, structure and year-round interest.
How I Can Help You
I offer a range of planting design services, from updating planting schemes in established gardens to creating complete planting plans for newly landscaped spaces.
I also collaborate with garden designers, landscapers and architects, providing planting design expertise on a range of projects.
However, if you are simply looking for garden inspiration and design ideas, or would simply like to get to know your garden better, I also offer residential garden design consultations.
Based in Sevenoaks, I work throughout Kent and further afield depending on the project.
About Sally
As an experienced gardener and horticulturist, I combine both a planting design background with practical horticultural knowledge and hold diplomas from both the RHS and the London College of Garden Design.
I co-designed Plant Heritage’s award-winning “All About Plants” show garden at the 2026 RHS Chelsea Flower Show, receiving a Silver-Gilt Medal, as well as a border installation for the 2024 RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival.
Since graduating from the LCGD in 2023, I have completed planting design projects across Kent and Surrey, ranging from planting schemes for large country estates and show gardens, to redesigns of residential suburban gardens.
"Working with Sally was a joy from start to finish.
She took our newly designed landscape and created a planting scheme that felt effortless, imaginative, and full of heart.
Season after season, the garden kept surprising us with beautiful bursts of colour and thoughtful combinations we’d never have dreamed of.
Sally’s creativity and instinct for planting have truly brought the space to life. We couldn’t be happier."
