The planting of a garden, perhaps more than any other part of the design and construction process, gives it its soul. Each plant must be carefully selected to meet the following criteria:

Client preference and taste;  If you tell us that you like a particular plant we will try our best to find it and design it in, if you don't like something, we won't use it. 

Position and aspect: We want the plants we put in to thrive, sun/shade, soil, wind, must all be considered along with the many other factors which affect plant growth.

Shape and form: The full grown plant must be suitable for its position and must complement surrounding plants and structures.  

Colour and texture;  As with the shape and form of plants their foliage and flower are hugely important factors in how they are used.

Quality  We use a variety of different nurseries and normally choose each plant personally.
