Traditional Gardens

Family Garden Weston, Bath

A garden which had become unloved and rarely used due to the patio and planting being in the wrong place.

By switching a small patch of  grass to paving, bringing the new colourful planting closer to the house and  sunnier seating area, this became an inviting space. The new garden office now has a wonderful view and the family felt connected to their garden.

Widcombe, Bath

A 1930’s house, recently renovated with a modern twist, needed a garden to compliment. The light buff paving and modern design combined with a limited colour palette of mixed herbaceous and shrub planting, ensured this garden looked established after the first season’s growth.A flexible design with two seating areas capture the sun or shade from morning to dusk

Late Victorian Garden, Lansdown, Bath

To link the new raised terrace with a steeply sloping garden, using a style that complements an early Victorian villa.

Solution

It was decided that the slope could become a feature. Sweeping stairs were built to link the areas, which created two large raised beds. These were perfect for Victorian shrubberies, planted with a rich combination of textures and colour. The lower level lawn became a traditional flower garden with symmetrical curved beds cut out of each corner. An existing large metal rose pergola was restored creating a glorious Victorian garden feature.

 

 

 

 

Melanie Jackson garden design is a small company in Bath providing inspired planting design and beautiful gardens in and around Bath. Even with the most derelict plots or daunting projects, I can find a way to create a garden that is welcoming and relaxing. I cover a wide range of styles, including family, contemporary or low maintenance gardens, vegetable, wildlife and cottage gardens, courtyards, modern terraces and traditional gardens. I also work with conservation projects, listed buildings and landscapes of historic interest. I am keen to promote organic practice and the inclusion of wildlife and ecology from design through to completion. With over 25 years of practical and technical experience, I ensure each project delivers a design service tailored to suit your garden and individual needs. Designing a garden can mean re-landscaping the entire plot or simply re-planting and shaping existing borders. I am happy to work on complete gardens or smaller areas of planting. I also offer gardening advice and ideas with workshops and a specialist garden maintenance service.
