Good garden design, like good interior design, is the practical art of making the very best of our surroundings while reflecting the needs of the garden's every user. Whether starting from scratch with a brand new house or renovating the garden of an older period property, knowledge and design skills are essential to select and sympathetically assemble the plants and landscape materials from the vast array now available.

Julie Toll is an experienced garden designer whose working knowledge of plants, soils and construction is founded on a deep love of gardens. In addition to projects in the UK, She regularly works in the Caribbean.

She has won six Gold Medals and two Silver Medals at the Chelsea Flower Show since 1990. In 1993 she was awarded a gold medal for her Seaside Garden which also won the coveted Fiskar's Sword of Excellence, the award for the very best garden at Chelsea. 1997 saw her first garden at The Hampton Court Flower Show. A Garden Richer In Wildlife won a gold medal and The Tudor Rose Award for the best water garden.

Julie's advice is available for projects of all sizes: from small town gardens to rolling acres, whether formal or informal, at home or abroad. You may simply need some ideas or a list of suitable plants; perhaps drawing up of a master plan for a finished garden or landscape; or more detailed drawings to aid construction and planting.

Whatever your needs, your enquiry is welcome.
